Mr LowE obtained a single example of Teraminck's Orange- 

 throated Warbler at Iju on i2th February 1920. 



It is the first record of the species from Southern Nigeria. 



This very distinct bird which may be distinguished at once from 

 the other members of the genus by its olive upper-parts apparently 

 ranges from wSierra Leone to Southern Nigeria. 



Range. — In the British Muséum we hâve spécimens from 

 Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast and Southern Nigeria, while Rei- 

 CHENOW (Vog. Afr., III, p. 623) records it also from Libéria and 

 Togoland. 



Its place is taken South of Southern Nigeria by S. gabonensis. 



There are three members of this genus in Western Africa which 

 must remain as species, one of which has a subspecies in the Congo 

 and Uganda.
