a. 6 . Fort Beni, Semliki Valley, 3000 ft., 21st July. [No. 2419. G. L.] 



Iris orange ; bill and feet black. 



The most easterly localities hitherto recorded for Strickland's Negro-Finch are the 

 Aruwimi River (Jameson) and Kibonge (Bohndorff), both about 350 miles to the 

 west of Fort Beni. 



The male from Fort Beni, though somewhat smaller than typical examples of 

 .V. canicapilla from Fernando Po, especially as regards the size of the bill, does not 

 appear to be separable from them. The wing measures 2'55 and the tail 1'8 inches.
