Hartlaub’s Pied Bush Shrike. 
This species may be briefly described as black and white, faintly 
372. Lanrarius masor, Hartl. 
washed with rose-colour below, and with more or less distinct white 
spots on the rump, which is greyer m plumage. A longitudinal 
band runs down the wing, formed by certain of the inner wing- 
eoverts and outer webs of two secondary quills. It is a West 
African species, ranging from the Gold Coast to the Congo, and 
thence from Angola to Benguela, where it was found by Mr. 
Montiero. At Biballa and Capangombe, Senor Anchieta procured 
it also, and gives the native names as Sequi aud Gongo at the latter 
place, and Kikacia at Biballa. It is possible, however, that the 
birds from the Congo and Angola are really different from those 
of the Gold Coast, as no specimens have been found in the 
intervening localities, in which case the bird of the southern 
habitat must bear Hartlaub’s name of L. guttatus. 
Prof. Barboza du Bocage has recently in his ‘ Ornithologie 
d’Angola” separated another species as Dryoscopus neglectus from 
Mossamedes, the region of the Cunene River and Lake N’gami. 
The chief character of this species consists in the band down the 
wing being formed of three white-bordered secondaries. He does 
not adopt the name of ZL. stictwrus, F. and H., as he finds that both 
of the species have occasionally white tips to the outer tail-feathers, 
whereby he considers the name inappropriate. These white-tipped 
birds are probably not so adult as those with the tail uniform. 
Beyond its occurrence in Benguela and Mossamedes, where it has 
been procured by Senor Anchieta, it was also met with by the late 
Mr. Andersson on the Cunene River, and at Lake N’gami. According
