differs in having no red spot on the breast^ while the distinct 

 white tips to the feathers of the head and throat constitute 

 another striking character. I have named it after Mr. Ivers 

 Bland, who brought me the first specimen obtained. We saw 

 it on several occasions in the stunted mimosas, which it 

 seemed to prefer to other trees.

I obtained an adult female specimen of this species on 

 the Dogga Mountain on March 3rd, 1897, being the first 

 recorded example from Somaliland. But the bird ranges as 

 far north as Bogos {Jesse) and the valley of the Anseba 

 {Blanford) .

The young bird diff'ers only in being more ashy brown 

 than the adults. It has a much smaller crest, and the tail- 

 feathers have a second white band. 



These birds were tolerably plentiful both on the Gooban 

 Plain and on the upper Goolis, but we did not notice them on 

 Wagga Mountain above 4000 feet.

Of this Boiler, which was very numerous along the Goolis 

 in 1895, we obtained only a single specimen, while C. ncevius 

 was equally scarce.

 previous expeditions.
