Coiiiin;;- to the paper itself, we notice that the Black- 

 backed AVeaver is called Sycohrofus gregalis, whose correct 

 name is clearly pointed out by Dr. Hartert to be hicolor 

 {vide Nov. Zool. 1907, p. 501). On p. 235 Mr. Sclater 

 says Quelea erythrops is new to South Africa ; but Mr. C G. 

 Davies procured it in Pondoland some two or three years 

 aoo. Mr. Sclater comes to the same opinion regarding 

 Alarlo leucolamia as we have in our ' Check-list/ Hartert's 

 Mirafra africana transvaalensis is substantiated ; while a 

 new addition to South Africa is included — Mirafra rufo- 

 chniamomea, Shelley (from Klein Letaba, Tvl.). 



Coloured plates are given of Cinnyris neergaardi (^ & 2 , 

 also of Ajialis claiulei and A. ruddl. Specimens of the 

 recently described Antlireptes reicJienotci, (isticola cuinamo- 

 meiceps, and Heliolais Jarhyi were obtained.
