5- — TSCHAGRA SENEGAI.A RUFOFUSCA. 



Telophonus senegalus rufofiisats Neumann, J. f. O., 1907, 

 p. 376 : Gungo, Angola. 



Rani>e. — Northern and Central Angola, Congo River Région. 



Dïstingnishing characters. — Under-parts duskier, less grey 

 than in paUidiis, and rather browner; upper-parts darker, more 

 reddish-brown; superciliary stripe deeper ochraceous. 



6. Tschagra senegala subsp. 



I hâve been unable to détermine the race from French Eqiia- 

 torial Africa. Boyd Alexander obtained five spécimens from the 

 rivers Shari, Ba-Mingui, Gribingui and Nana. Thèse birds hâve 

 the light under-parts of T. s. chadeiisis but are much smaller, 

 cf d* wings 83-87 mm. and are slightly darker on the back. A large 

 séries are required before their status can be satisfactorily deter- 

 mined. 



Tschagra australis ussheri. 



Laniarius ussheri Sharpe and Layards, Birds S. Afr., 1882, 

 P- 397- — Type locality : Volta River. 



A single immature female example of what I believe to 

 be Ussher's Tschagra was obtained bv Mr Lowe at Iju on 

 23rd January 1920. 



It is represented in the British Muséum bv only four spécimens, 

 the type from the Volta River and another Gold Coast bird from 

 Fantee. A spécimen from Sierra Leone (Kemp) and Mr Lowe's 

 bird from S. Nigeria. It has also been obtained in Sierra Leone by 

 Kelsall. 



The races of T. australis are reviewed by Neumann, in J. f. O., 



1907- P- 371-
