CHLOROPHONEUS NIGRIFRONS 425 
men—a male obtained near Nairobi, at about 5,400 feet on 
December 5, 1909, and another which I take to be a young 
bird from Kibirau in the Toro province of western Uganda; 
while I would also refer three Bush-Shrikes collected by 
Grauer in the forest west of Tanganyika, now in the Tring 
Museum, to the same form. Further south on the Nyasa- 
Tanganyika plateau, a Bush-Shrike only differing from the 
above by its more fiery orange breast was obtained by the 
collectors attached to the Anglo-German Boundary Commis- 
sion and named after Lieutenant-Colonel, now Sir William, 
Manning, the Deputy Commissioner for British Central Africa. 
Further south, in Gazaland, on the eastern borders of 
southern Rhodesia, Swynnerton has recently obtained a pair 
of these Bush-Shrikes. He writes: “On August 19, 1906, 
I watched a pair of these handsome Shrikes moving about 
quietly amongst the foliage on the outskirts of the Chirinda 
Forest and secured the female; on the 27th of the same month 
I observed a third at the same spot, and on April 13 of this 
year Odendaal shot a fine male some 200 yards higher up on 
the forest outskirts. The stomach of the first contained three 
larve, a large wasp and beetles.” 
Recently Neave obtained a single female “ in dense forest,” 
near Kamboye, at 4,500 feet, February 21, 1907. This locality 
is in the Katanga district of Congoland not far from the 
border of north-west Rhodesia. This specimen is undoubtedly 
identical with the type of C. n. manningt. 
If the sexing of the examples in the British Museum is 
correct, this species differs from all the others in the genus in 
having the sexes alike, the female having the black band on 
the sides of the head.
