283. HREMOMELA scoToPs. Dusky-faced Bush- Warbler. 
The present species is unknown to us. It was described from 
Wahlberg’s collections by Professor Sundeyall (Oef. K. Vet. Akad. 
Forh. Stockh. 1850, p. 103), from Upper Caffraria (25°), and the 
following is a translation of the original description. 
Above grey, the head slightly greenish: underneath pale yellow, 
the throat brighter: lores dusky. There is no pale superciliary 
streak above the eye, whence the face appears dusky ; throat nearly 
white; bill entirely black; feet dusky; wings and tail dull ashy 
brown, narrowly margined with whitish (not with yellow) ; first 
primary equal to half the third; second equal to the seventh. 
Wing, 2°35; tarsus, 0°7. 
284. DryopROMAS FLAVIDA. Black-breasted Bush-Warbler. 
Professor Sundevall has separated this little bird as the type of a 
distinct genus, Chlorodyta, but, until the necessary revision of these 
difficult Warblers has been undertaken by some competent zoologist, 
we prefer to keep it as a Dryodromas, in which genus it has been 
placed by Drs. Finsch and Hartlaub. We have received it from Mr. 
A. F. Ortlepp from Sunday’s River, and Mr. T. C. Atmore also 
procured a specimen at Eland’s Post. 
The present species was originally discovered by Mr. Anders- 
son. He writes as follows :—“It is only in the neighbourhood 
of the Okavango that I have found this pretty little species 
at all numerous, and I never saw it either in Damara or in Great 
Namaqua Land. I generally found it in small flocks, probably 
consisting of entire families. It resorts to the denser parts of the 
forests, and lives entirely on small insects.”” He also met with it at 
Ondonga. 
Adult male.—Above yellowish green, rather brighter yellow on 
the rump ; crown of head bluish grey shaded with yellow towards 
the nape; sides of face bluish grey like the head; cheeks bright 
yellow as also the under surface of the body; chin and centre of 
the body silky white; chest with a conspicuous spot of black ;
