No. 5194. a. ?. Below Kasongo, Upper Congo, 2000 ft., 

 10th Feb. 



Iris dark hazel ; bill black ; feet pale flesh-colour. 



The specimen procured by Mr. Carruthers near Kasongo 

 differs somewhat from a typical female example of N. 

 prcjepectoralis, obtained by the Ruwenzori Expedition in the 

 Mpanga Forest, in being somewhat smaller (wing 3"95 

 inches, tail 3*35 ; as compared Avith wing 4*2, tail 3'5) and in 

 having the white tips of the outer tail-feathers shorter. As 

 in N. prapectoralis, the white at the end of the outer pair of 

 tail-feathers is entirely confined to the terminal part of the 

 inner web and tip of the feather. In the present specimen 

 the white portion of the inner web measures 0*9 inch, while 

 in the typical female from the Mpanga Forest it measures 

 1*4 inch and in the type specimen — a male from Toro — it 

 measures 1*45. The present specimen is in much worn 

 plumage, but may represent a distinct and rather smaller 

 form of N. prcepectoralis. 



CiCHLADUSA ARCUATA PcterS. 



Cichladusa arquata Reich, iii. p. 765 (1905). 



Nos. 5147, 5154. a, h. (^ . East of Kasongo, Upper 

 Congo, 2000-2500 ft., 8th & 11th Jan. 



Iris very pale yellow ; bill black ; feet grey. 



Both examples of the Morning Warbler appear to be a 

 trifle smaller than birds from the Zambesi and Nyasaland, 

 but one specimen in the British Museum from the latter 

 locality has the same wing-measurement, 3'4 inches.
