in Uganda and on the Upper Congo. 307 



The East- African examples of this species have been sepa- 

 rated under the name of B. puella Reich., chiefly on account 

 of the darker chestnut-colour of the throat-patch and breast- 

 band in the female. The female specimen from Tanganyika 

 resembles typical examples of the somewhat paler B. molitor 

 from South Africa. The males shew no constant difference 

 in plumage, the extent of the white eyebrow-stripe being a 

 purely individual character.

Apparently an immature female of Hartlaub's Tit- Warbler. 

 It differs from the adult in having the upperparts washed 

 with brownish ; the wing-coverts, scapulars, and innermost 

 secondaries rather widely margined with pale rufous-buff; 

 the underparts, with the exception of the middle of the belly, 

 which is whitish, strongly washed with pale rufous; the 

 vent and under tail-coverts clear pale I'ufous, and the penulti- 

 mate pair of tail-feathers with the terminal two-thirds white. 



P. orientale Reich. & Neum., from Kibuesi, is a closely- 

 allied form, but is easily distinguished by having the under 

 tail-coverts pure white instead of buff or pale rufous.
