externally edged with olive-yellowish.

The facts of the capture of this species by Mr. Andersson and Sir 
Andrew Smith should be reversed. It was the latter who procured 
two specimens, Mr. Andersson having met with only one, a male, 
killed on the 30th November (cf. Seebohm, Cat. B. v, p. 12). 
Mr. Seebohm (J. c.) retains the name of Sylvia hortensis for this 
species. According to him the Garden Warbler may be dis- 
tinguished from the Whitethroat by having the chin and throat 
not whiter than the rest of the under parts. The margins of the 
quills, wing-coverts, and innermost secondaries are of the same 
colour as the back, but somewhat paler. 
Near Potchefstroom, December, January, to March (Ayres). 
Page 304, Insert:—Synvia cineruA (L.). Common Whitethroat. 
The Common Whitethroat was met with by the late Mr. Andersson at 
Otniovapa in Damara Land on the 12th of January (cf. Seebohm, 
Cat. B. vii, p. 10). 
In this species the bastard primary is very minute, according to Mr. 
Seebohm, falling short of the primary-coverts by 0°1 or 0:2 inches.
