Apparently a true Muscicapa, or, subgenerically, a Butalis, though 
the beak is rather long. In the Stutgardt collection there is a spe- 
cimen of this bird from the interior of South Africa. I have tried 
without success to discover a description of it somewhere.—(G. H.) 
Not very common at Bembe, and, I believe, unknown on the coast. 
Shot in a wooded ravine near a rivulet. Called ‘“‘ Engumbeashedivco.”

12. TcuH1rREA MELAMPYRA, Verr. 
Common in the wooded ravines near Bembe; native name “ En- 
gundobeoli anfinda;”’ recognizable by its peculiar cry, but difficult to 
see, keeping in the densest thickets.—(J. J. M.) 
13. Dryoscopus ANGOLENSIS, Hartlaub, n. sp. Supra obscure 
cinereus, uropygio pallidiore ; remigibus fuscis, cinerascente mar- 
ginatis; pileo toto, nucha colloque postico nigerrimis, nitore 
nonnullo chalybeo, plumulis pilet sericeis, brevissimis ; rectricibus 
obsolete fuscescentibus, mediis potius cinerascentibus, scapis supra 
nigris, subtus albis ; subtus pallide cinerascens, gutture et subala- 
ribus albis; rostro nigro, pedibus fuscis ; iride obscure cerulea. 
Long. circa 72", rostr. a fr. 84", alee 3! 2'", caud. a bas. 3", 
tars. 94!" 
Decidedly new, and not quite typical. The characteristic de- 
velopment of the rump-feathers, so conspicuous in all the typical 
Dryoscopi, is very little apparent in this new one, and the structure 
of the curiously short and silk-like feathers of the crown is also very 
peculiar. Beak strongly carinated.—(G. H.) Common near Bembe 
in the thick wood. Stomach very large, and full of Indian corn and 
seeds. Native name “ Entuecula.”—(J.J.M.) 
14. EUPLECTES FLAMMICEPS, Sw. 
Angola is certainly the most southern locality of this species on 
the west coast. Its northern frontier seems to be the Gambia. 
Von Pelzeln writes me that there is a specimen at Vienna obtained 
by Bojer on the island of Zanzibar.—(G. H.) Very common at Bembe, 
but not seen on the coast ; found among the high grass.—(J.J. M.) 
15. SPERMESTES POENSIS, Fras. 
Seen in flocks in the high grass at Bembe.—(J. J. M.) 
16. PyTeLIA MONTEIRI, n. sp. (Pl. CLXI.) Supra cinerea, 
dorso distincte olivascente ; uropygio et supra-caudalibus obscure 
coccineis, maculis nonnullis albis, rotundatis ; alis et cauda brun- 
neo-cinerascentibus ; macula gulari longitudinali intense cinna- 
barina ; pectore et abdomine dilute et lete cinnamomeis, maculis 
rotundatis albis pulchre et confertim notatis ; subalaribus palli- 
dius rufo alboque variis ; subcaudalibus brunneo alboque late et 
conspicue fasciatis ; rostro nigricante ; pedibus rubellis. 
Long. 41”, rostr. a fr. 5’, alee 2” 2’", caudee 14”, tars. 6”. 
This beautiful little Finch is the pride of Mr. Monteiro’s collection.
