in the Mpanga forest near Fort Portai, and two in the Semliki 

 vallev' (one of which was shot 80 miles N. W. of Fort Béni, the 

 typical locality) I cannot see that the under tail-coverts are in any 

 way lighter than typical examples from Gaboon. 



4. — Phyi.lastrephus indicator togoensis. 



Ph. i. togoensis Rchw., J. f. O., 1917, p. 115 : Togoiand. 



Distingiiishing characters. — Said by Reichenow to differ from 

 the other forms in having the under-parts pure grey, and less 

 washed with green; the under tail-coverts are very light brownish- 

 white, almost white. 



Observation. — I hâve not seen examples from Togoiand, the 

 above description certainlv does not applv to the Gold Coast bird 

 which I named P. i. ussJieri. 



Range. — Togoiand, Dahomey and? S. Nigeria. 



5. — Phyllastrephus indicator ussheri. 



Andropadus itidicator z^^^/ie;/ Bannerman, Bull. B. O. C, XLI, 

 1920, p. 6 : Fantee, Gold Coast. 



Distinguishing characters. — From the tvpical species it differs 

 in the more olive coloration of the upper-parts, and in the darker 

 and greyer under surface, with much less bufF on the belly. Under 

 tail-coverts similar to those of Ph. i. indicator. 



Observation. — As Professor Neumann remarks the description 

 of Reichenow's Ph. i. togoensis is so différent from that oi Ph. i. 

 ussheri that one must assume the birds to be perfectly distinct 

 races. 



Range. — Gold Coast.
