Occasional JVotes. 215 



pectoral tufts are distinctly mixed with orange-red. Should 

 these differences prove constant in the Pondoland form 

 (confirmation of which would be settled by the receipt of 

 more specimens), Mr. Haagner proposed calling it 



CiNNYRIS OLIVACEUS DAVIESI, 



after its discoverer, Sgt. C. G. Davies, of the Cape Mounted 

 Rifles. 



He did not wish to fully describe the bird yet, pending 

 the receipt of more specimens, but Sgt. Davies informed him 

 they were common and seemed all exactly alike. It is highly 

 probable that it will turn out a good geographical form, as, 

 although Shortridge collected in Pondoland, the specimens 

 forwarded by him to the South African Museum were, strange 

 to say, female. 



Hearty votes of thanks to the Chairman, Treasurer, and 

 Secretary terminated a very successful meeting.
