Emin’s Rosy-flanked Waxbill, including H. marwitzi, in- 
habits Central Africa between 1° S. lat. and 15° S. lat. 
The type, a hen, was discovered by Emin at Bukoba on the 
western shore of Victoria Nyanza, and is known to me by the 
description, from which I cannot find a character for separating 
HH. marwitzi from it. I have taken my description from a male 
procured by Mr. Pemberton at Ugonga, in about 14° 30’S. lat. 
by 21° H.long., which is the most southern and western locality 
known to me for the species. This specimen, which is in the 
Tring Museum, was, I understand, named by Dr. Reichenow 
FE. roseicrissa, and as it appears to me to agree well with the 
description of H. marwitzi, I think it probable that they are 
the two sexes of one species. The type of H. marwita was 
obtained by Mr. Marwitz at Malangali in the Uhehe country, 
and a second specimen by Dr. Filleborn at Kalinga in the 
same country.

Type. ‘ Very similar to EH. paludicola, but differing in the red of the 
upper tail-coverts being paler, more scarlet red ; back and wing-coverts paler 
and more ashy ; under parts ochre shaded golden brown, paler on the throat 
and crop and darker golden brown on the sides of the body, abdomen and 
under tail-coverts; under tail-coverts washed with red; under wing-coverts 
pale ochre yellow washed with red. Wing 1:92 inches, tail 1:8. 
“From H. ochrogaster it differs in the grey not ochre yellow sides of the 
head, the paler red of the upper tail-coverts, and the golden brown under 
tail-coverts ”’ (Reichenow).
