68. Cisticola chjniana (Smith). 

 Cisticola chiniana Eeich. iii. p. 546. 

 a. ? . Shimoni, 19th May, 1901. 



Bill horn-coloured ; legs pale flesh-coloured.

 a. Kikuyu Forest, 29th June, 1902. 



70. Cisticola pictipennis Madarasz. 



Cisticola pictipennis Reich, iii. p. 564 ; Grant, Ibis, 1908, 

 p. 295. 



a, b. Ad. Nairobi, Kikuyu Forest, 29th June, 1902. 



This rare species has recently been recorded by Mr. Ogilvie- 

 Grant from the Mfumbiro Volcanoes, where it was procured 

 by Mr. Douglas Carruthers. It was also found at Nairobi 

 by Mr. F. J. Jackson. The present specimens, which were 

 procured in the latter locality, agree perfectly with those 

 examined by Mr. Grant, and are probably both males, as the 

 wing-measurement is 2*15 inches ( = 54 mm.) in both. 



71. Philomela golzi Cab. 

 Aedon golzi Reich, iii. p. 787. 



a. Ad. Takaungu, 30th March, 1901. (No. 165.) 

 P. golzi is known to be found in Equatorial Africa in 

 winter, but the British Museum does not contain any 

 specimens from that country. The example procured by 

 Mr. Percival agrees with those from Turkestan and S. Arabia. 

 It was the only specimen met with by him. 



72. Monticola saxatilis (Linn.). 

 Monticola saxatilis Reich, iii. p. 699. 



a, b. £ ? . Takaungu, 27th & 28th March. (Nos. 106 & 

 151.) 



[I did not meet with this bird until March 20th, but 

 after that date it became extremely common. The males 

 outnumbered the females considerably ; after March 30th 

 more females began to appear. All the birds were extremely 

 fat.— A. B. P.]
