206 BIRDS OF SOUTH AFRICA. 
shading on the throat and sides of the body, the thighs and under 
wing-coverts in A. flavescens being tawny or slightly rufous yellow. 
Again, it shows a striking resemblance to Oriniger flaviventris, of 
which it is an almost literal copy, but independently of the serrated 
notches at the end of the bill, which show that the bird is an 
Andropadus, it may be also distinguished by its bright yellow 
lores and by its black bill and legs, these being brown in the 
Criniger. 
Adult.—Above olive-brown with a yellowish tinge, the wings and 
tail being of the same colour; lores light yellow, the forehead also 
slightly shaded with this colour; ear-coverts olive brown with faint 
stripes of yellow, the cheeks also yellowish like the under surface, 
the centre of the body, thighs, edge of the wing and under wing- 
coverts, yellow; lower margin of quills brown, yellow along the — 
edge of the inner web; bill and feet black. Total length, 7.8 
inches; culmen, 0.7; wing, 3.7; tail, 3.8; tarsus, 0.85. 
190. ANDROPADUS FLAVOSTRIATUS. Barratt’s Bulbul. 
The present bird was found by Mr. F. A. Barratt in the Lyden- 
burg district, and was described as new by the editor. The British 
Museum also contains a single example procured by Dr. Kirk on the 
river Shire. It is by no means a typical Andropadus like the other 
two South African ones, but has a very long thin bill like a true 
Oriniger, and may prove on a subsequent revision of the group, to 
belong to the latter genus. At present we have kept it as an 
Andropadus, as it bears evident affinity to some of the West African 
species, which are still included in the last-named genus. 
Adult female.—General colour, above olive-brown, with somewhat 
of a yellowish tinge ; head dusky grey, the lores and feathers round — 
the eye greyish white; ear-coverts grey, with narrow white shaft- 
streaks ; cheeks greyish white; throat pure white; rest of under 
surface whitish, the feathers edged with greenish yellow, causing 
the breast to appear streaked with that colour; sides of the body 
dull greenish olive, deepening on the lower flanks and under tail- 
coverts; thighs greenish olive; under wing-coverts dull yellow, 
marked with brown near the edge of the wing; scapulars and least 
wing-coverts coloured like the back; rest of the wing brown, all the 
feathers externally washed with olive, inclining to golden brown on 
al
