and do not show the pure grev under-siirface. The type of 

 A. g. percevali is in beautiful fresh moulted plumage and this 

 evidentlv accounts for the striking différence exhibited between

There remain onlv two ferras therefore. Thèse are : 



1. — Andropadus gracilirostris gracilirostris. 

 Cf. supra. 



Range. — Sierra Leone, Libéria, Gold Coast, S. Nigeria, 

 Fernando Pc, Cameroon, Gaboon, N. Belgian Congo, Uganda, 

 Kenya Colony. 



2. — Andropadus gracilirostris congensis. 



Andropadus gracilirostris congensis Rchw, Orn. Monatsber., 

 1916, p. 181 : Leopoldville. 



Range. — S. Belgian Congo, ? N. Angola. 



Observation. — I hâve not seen spécimens from the Leopold-

 A small séries collected bv Ansorge in Northern Angola may 

 possibly hâve to be referred to this form if it is indeed a valid race.

 other parts of Africa.

The single spécimen of the Moustached Bulbul which Mr Lowe 

 shot at the Iju water Works, near Lagos, must be referred to the 

 Northern race of A. latirostris which Reichenow described, and
