322 LANIARIUS ATROCOCCINEUS 
The Mufumbiro Gonalek, recently described, is only 
known from the volcanic district between Lakes Albert 
Edward and Kivu, where Uganda, the Belgian Congo, 
and German East Africa meet. The type, an adult, was 
procured by Mrs. Roby near Vichumbi, at the south end of 
Lake Albert Edward on December 4, 1910, and is now in 
the British Museum. A second specimen, apparently not 
quite adult, was collected by Mr. T. V. Fox near Ruchuduru, 
Ruchigga, on July 9, 1911, and is in his collection.
