There are two races of Reinwardt's Thrush in West Atrica : 



1. — CrATEROPUS REINWARDTI REINWARDTI. 



Crateropus reinwardtiSvfAms, Zool. 111. (2), II, 1831, pi. LXXX : 

 India errore. Subst. Sénégal; cf. Orn. West. Afr., 1837, 

 p. 276. ' 



Range. — Sénégal, Gambia, Portuguese Guinea. 



Distinguishing characters. — Head and cheeks black, sharply 

 defined from the mantle. 



2. — Crateropus reinwardti stictilaemus. 

 Cf. supra. 



Range. — Gold Coast, Northern and Southern Nigeria, French 

 Equatorial Africa. 



Distinguishing characters. — Head and cheeks ashy-brown, 

 not defined from the mantle. 



Ptyrticus strenuipes. 



Tîirdinus strenuipes Bannerman, Bull. B. O. C, vol. XLI, 1920, 

 p. 5. — Type locality : Iju water-works, near Lagos. 



A complète description of this interesting new Babbler has 

 already appeared and I hâve since received a letter from Professer 

 Oscar Neumann suggesting that my bird would be better placed 

 in the genus Ptyrticus of Hartlaub, the type of which is P. tur- 

 dinus. I agrée with Neumann that the bird usually known as Tur- 

 dinns puveli, with which I compared my spécimen, should also be 

 included in the genus Ptyrticus, but I do not agrée that thèse 

 forms are probably subspecies of P. turdiniis.
