Messrs Sclater and Praed presumably consider Antichroiiiiis 

 anchietae a subspecies of A. tnùiutus, as there do not appear to be 

 any races of A. iniiititus, unless we consider Anchiet's Bush 

 Shrike as one. 



The différences are so marked between thèse two Shrikes that I 

 prefer to keep each as a distinct species. The range of the Soutliern 

 bird is as follows : 



Antichromus anchietae. 



Telepho7ius anchietae Boc, Jorn. Lisb., II, 1870, p. 344. — 

 Tv^pe locality : Pongo Andongo, N. Angola. 



Range. — N. Angola, S. Belgian Congo, vS. Rhodesia, Nyasa- 

 land, Tanganyika Territorv. 



Distingiiishing characters. — A. anchietae may at once be 

 distinguished from A. niiniitus bv having a perfectly plain back 

 with no black on the scapulars and mantle. 



Observation. — Neumann has separated birds from Tanganvika 

 Territory under the name Telephomis rcichenoivi (J. f. O., 1900, 

 p. 120) on account of their lighter colouring and smaller size. 

 I agrée with Ogilvie-Grant and Sclater that the characters are 

 not discernible. 



Family PRIONOPIDAE. 



Fraseria ocreatus ocreatus. 



Tephrodornis ocreatus Strickland, P. Z. S., 1844, p. 102. — 

 Type locality : Fernando Po. 



Mr LowE shot two examples of Strickland's Squamated Wood- 

 Shrike at the Iju water works near Lagos, in January and 

 February 1920.
