110 QUELEA 
at Kakoma, and by Fischer in Ugaia on the eastern coast of 
Victoria Nyanza, and also at Zanzibar. 
The type was discovered by Decken near the Zanzibar 
coast, but the exact locality has not been recorded, and it 
remained hidden in the Berlin Museum from 1868 until the 
beginning of this century, when, I believe, Mr. Neumann re- 
named Serinus imberbis, Sharpe, S. Sharpii, under the impres- 
sion that Crithagra imberbis, Cab., belongs to the same genus 
Serinus, which proves not to be the case. 
With regard to my article on Serinus imberbis (B. Afr. III. 
p. 203), erase all the references to Crithagra imberbis and 
chloropsis, and those to Serinus imberbis after “* Zomba,” all of 
which refer to the present species. Similar corrections should 
be made in the Catalogue of the Birds of the B. M. xii. p. 355. 
From further south the species is known by the types of 
Orithagra rendalli, a male and female, shot by Dr. P. Rendall 
in the Barberton district of the Transvaal out of a large flock, 
February 17, 1894. They were very wild and gave him an 
exciting ride after them over the open veldt before he could 
secure both sexes. ‘These specimens are now in the Liverpool 
Museum, and I had them figured for my present work in 1901 
under the name of Anomalospiza rendalli, believing at the time 
that they were distinct from Crithagra imberbis, Cab., which 
Dr. Reichenow assures me is not the case. 
Genus VII. QUHELEA. 
The alteration in the plumage of the adult male by the spring moult is 
slight, most marked by the head or throat assuming some clear black or red, 
which distinguishes it from the female; the back does not change, but 
remains brown, with blackish centres to the feathers, the neck and breast 
sometimes acquiring a crimson shade. In general structure it closely 
resembles Pyromelana, but like Anomalospiza, it never has a ruff on the neck 
and the upper tail-coverts do not extend so far over the tail.
