Chloropeta schubotzi Reichenow [Orn. Monatsb. xvi. 

 p. 119 (1908)], from Lagegu Forest, East Africa, is very 

 closely allied to C. kenya Sliarpe, nbicli occurs on Mt. Kenia, 

 Kikuyu, and eastern Ruwenzori [c/. Ogilvie-Graut, Tr. Zool. 

 Soc. xix. p. 395 (1910)] but has rather darker olive upper 

 parts. 



Hyliota violacea Verr. 



Two female examples of Hyliota procured at Bitye, 

 River Ja, in May and September^ appear to be referable to 

 H. violacea Verr., of which the female, according to 

 Dr. Reichenow [Vog. Afr. ii. p. 47 J. (1903)], is unknown. 

 The male has the three or four innermost greater secondai'y 

 coverts white, or mostly white, forming a distinct patch ; in 

 the female these feathers are black with white at the base, 

 and narrowly bordered with white on the terminal portion 

 of the outer web. Moreover, in l)oth these females the 

 entire underparts from the chin to the belly are rufous buff. 

 A third female specimen, procured by Mr, Bates in June 

 1906, is in all respects similar to the above. 



Alethe poliocephala (Bonap.). 



Trichophorus poliocephalus (Terarainck MS) Bonap. 

 Consp. Av. i. p. 262 (1850).

 (1905) should be added : 



Alethe moori Alexander, Bull. B. O. C. xiii. p. 37 (1902) 

 [Bakaki, Fernando Po]. 



An adult male killed on the 4th of April, 1914, has very 

 little black on the chin ; the white of the throat extends 

 nearly to the angle between the rami of the lower 

 mandible. 



Fraseria cinerascens Hartl. 



An example of this species was descriljed by Sharpe as 

 Muscicapa modesta Hartlaub {cf. p. 87). 



Tlie young bird of this species is distinguished from the 

 young of F. ocreata (Strickl.), also procured by Mr. Bates, 

 in having the breast mottled and spotted with dusky and 

 pale buff. In t\ ocreata it is mostly white.
