Ohs. As our Museum contained no specimens of the genus 

 Sylvietta , and seeing that the figure of S. flaviventris Sharpe 

 (P. Z. S. 1877, p. 23, pi. 2, f. 1) does not agree in some 

 details with the description, I sent the specimen for com- 

 parison to Mr. Sharpe , who very kindly informs me that 

 it is closely allied to S. flaviventris, but at once dis- 

 tinguished by its white belly and ashy flanks, characters 

 which , in connection with the white chin and throat , show 

 its near relationship to aS. virens from the Gaboon.
