Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant on some recent [Ibis, 



is noticeable in quite young birds, which are easily recog- 

 nisable from the young of C. superciliaris by their darker 

 underparts. 



Outside Fernando Po, the true C. superciliaris appears 

 to occur in the eastern Congo Forest, where Wocsnam 

 procured an adult male example. There are also three 

 specimens from the Gold Coast and one, a male, from 

 Yonnibanna, Sierra Leone, obtained by Major H. J. Kelsall. 

 The last-named bird was referred to by him (' Ibis,^ 1914, 

 p. 206) as typical C. superciliaris, but it seems to be ratlier 

 more brilliantly coloured than any bird from Fernando Po, 

 while the bill is shorter and rather less stout. These differ- 

 ences may, however, be individual. 



Birds procured by W. J. Ansorge at N'Dalla Tando, 

 northern Angola, appear to be referable to C. s. kamerunensis, 

 but the breast and sides of the body are washed with a 

 rather more olive-grey tint ; one male bird, however, from 

 the River Ja, Cameroon, is inseparable in this respect. 



C. s. Uganda; S. Clarke [Bull. B. 0. C. xxxiii. ji. 136 

 (lOl^)] has been separated on account of its whiter belly 

 and longer tail. 



Apalis jacksoni minor, subsp. n. 



S\m\\a.v to A. jacksoii Sharpe, but considerably smaller, 

 the black on the chin and throat narrower and confined to 

 the middle portion of the latter and less extended towards 

 the chest ; white tips to the tail-feathers narrower, those 

 of the outer pair about 12 mm. as compared with about 

 24 mm. in A. jacksoni. Iris greyish-brown ; bill black; 

 feet light flesh-colour. 



Typical examples of A. jacksoni from East Africa and 

 Uganda were met with by the late W. J. Ansorge at 

 N'Dalla Tando, northern Angola. A. j. minor was met
