In the Orn. Monatsb. xx. p. 28 (1912) Dr. Reicbenow 

 described his " Apalis rufogularis kamerunensis " from 

 southern Cameroon which must be added to the synonymy 

 of A. rufiyularis Fraser^ tlie type-specimen of which, from 

 Fernando Po, is in the British Museum. 



Bradypterus grandis, sp. n. 



Adult mule. With the general appearance of B. graueri 

 Neumann^ but slightly larger and with an unusually long 

 tail composed of ten instead of twelve feathers. The rather 

 large blackish spots on the chest are continued over the 

 throat to the chin, but are not so rounded or so numerous 

 as in B. graueri ; an indistinct brownish-white band above 

 the eye and faintly indicated behind ; entire upperparts 

 dark brown, with the rufous tinge less pronounced than in 

 B. graueri ; lesser and median wing-coverts with brownish- 

 buff margins ; ground-colour of tlie throat and the middle 

 of the breast and belly pure white ; sides, flanks, and under 

 tail-coverts olive-brown, the last-named paler. Iris brown ; 

 bill black, grey beneath ; feet grey. 



Total length 190 mm.; wing 66 ; tail 79; tarsus 28. 



Type in the British Museum. ($ ad. Bitye, River Ja, 

 2000 feet, 24. iii. 14. No. 5782.

 examined, but none in any way resemble the bird described 

 above except B. graueri, which has very distinct eyebrow 

 stripes prolonged above the ear-coverts. 



Bradypterus brachypterus centralis Neum.

 xxi. p. 55 (1908) [Lake Kivu]. 



Four specimens procured by Mr. G. L. Bates at Akono- 

 linga. River Njong, in the interior of Cameroon, appear to 

 belong to this form, having much darker brown upperparts 

 than in typical B. brachypterus and with only a trace of a 

 rufous wash on the rump and upper tail-coverts, the black 

 spots on the foreneck more pronounced, and the flanks and
