was obtained in Zanzibar, and Falco fasciinucha — allied to 

 F. cuvieri — from Teita, British East Africa^ of which a good 

 coloured figure is given. Among the Owls, Pisorhina ugandcB 

 is characterized as a new species allied to P. capensis. Herr 

 Neumann met with a small flock of Psittacus erithacus in Kwa 

 Kitoto, in Kavironda, on the east shore of the Victoria Lake — 

 the most easterly point of its occurrence yet recorded — and 

 found it abundant among the banana-gardens of Ussoga, 

 north of the Lake. In addition to Affnpornis pullaria, 

 examples of two other " Love-birds," namely A. fischeri and 

 A. personata, were obtained. Herr Neumann met with 

 no fewer than 10 species of Musophagidse ; the rarest of these 

 being Turacus clialcolopliue, lately discriminated by Herr 

 Neumann from T. livingstonii, and T. schalowi, which was 

 found in the Gurui Mountains and other neighbouring 

 localities in German East Africa.

97. Neumann on certain Species of Nigrita. 



[Die schwarzstirnigen Niyrita-Ai-teii, Von Oscar Neumann. Ornith. 

 Monatsb., April 1899.] 



After a closer examination of the curious Passerine bird 

 obtained in 1895 on Mount Kilimanjaro, and for which the 

 author and Prof. Reichenow proposed the name Atopornis 

 diaholicus, Herr Neumann has come to the conclusion that this 

 is simply the young of a species of Nigrita, which was subse- 

 quently described by Prof. Reichenow asiV, krelzschmari (Oru. 

 Monatsb. 1898, p. 187). Herr Neumann takes this oppor-
