This species is most nearly allied to T.johnstoni (Shelley), 

 which it resembles in having the outer webs of the secondary 

 quills margined with olive ; but it is easily distinguished by 

 the conspicuous orange-yellow rump and upper tail-coverts 

 and by having the yellow on the second pair of tail-feathei^s 

 confined to the basal half of the outer web, and the outer 

 pairs widely tipped with black, about 0"7 inch wide. 



A large series of this handsome Bush-Robin Avas procured 

 by the Kuwenzori Expedition, and the male obtained by 

 Mr. Carruthers differs in no way from the type specimen. 

 The male has the wing 3*2 inches, tail 2*7, tarsus 1*0; the 

 female, wing 2'9-3*0, tail 2*4, tarsus 0*95, 



Dr. Reichenow has recently re-described this species under 

 the above-given name.

Muscicapa lugens Shelley (nee Hartl.), Ibis, 1890, p. 158,

No. 5232. a. ? . Upper Congo, 2000 ft., 21st Feb. 

 (Type of the species.) 



Iris dark hazel ; upper mandible black, lower mandible 

 grey; feet grey. 



This Grey Flycatcher is very similar to M. carulescens 

 (Hartl.), but is easily recognised by its smaller size and very 

 much shorter tail. From M. lugens (Hartl.), which it re- 

 sembles in having the chest and breast darker grey, it is 

 distinguished by possessing a white band extending from the 

 lores over the eye and white under wing-coverts. Wing 

 2'65 inches; tail 1*8 ; tarsus 0'6. 



There is a second example of this species in the British 

 Museum, which was procured at Yambuya, on the Aruwimi 

 River, Upper Congo, by the late Mr. J. S. Jameson, and 

 was incorrectly identified with M. lugens (vide supra).
