ciliaris and has named it after Capt. Stanley S. Flower. This bird, 
S. floweri, Sharpe, has the upper parts of a blackish color, while those 
in S. swperciliaris are brownish black. The specimen in Mr. Eisenho- 
fer’s collection agrees better with the description of S. superciliaris,

Its measurements were as follows :—wing = 122 mm.; tail=77

Stresemann has recently published a paper (Nov. Zool., Vol. 20, 
No. 2, 1913) on the subject of the different subspecies of this widely
