are apparently P. congener. The specimen which Sir John 

 Kirk sent from Usambara Hills, and which I referred to 

 P. minor, is certainly the same as the Tete species, and 

 must be, I suppose, also referred to P. congener. P. minor 

 is from East Africa, from Uhehe north to the Victoria 

 Nyanza. It i& allied to P. ussheri and P. congener, but has 

 the sides of the body and the under tail-coverts washed 

 with buffy ochraceoiis yellow, lighter on the fore-neck ; 

 it is in general somewhat smaller and paler on the upper 

 side. 



P. emini attracts attention by it* greyish chest and sides, 

 and by its whitish or pale fawn-coloured under tail-coverts. 

 It inhabits the district of the Victoria Nyanza, where a large 

 series was obtained by Mr. F. J. Jackson {of. ' Ibis,' 1901, 

 p. 45). 



[P. frater, like the species of Laniarius, is confined to the 

 thick growth of old cleared land and is common there. It 

 shares the same native name as Laniarius luehderi, and its 

 habits and its call-notes are much like those of that bird. 

 It has, besides, some notes that may be called a song, 

 ending in a long trill, in a really sweet voice, though deep 

 and heavy for a bird. I have seen the nest, in a thick bush, 

 six feet from the ground. It was saucer-shaped, composed 

 of rootlets, and not lined. Another, looking like it, and 

 said by the boys to be that of this bird, was composed of dry 

 leaf-petioles. — G. L. B.]
