the throat of a less brilliant orange-yellow and in being slightly smaller. The type is

Type [? <s ]. Ashanti. — Wing 4-6 ; tail 4T5 inches. 



2 . E. Ruwenzori, 9000 ft.— Wing 4-4; tail 4-3 inches. 



Several additional specimens have more recently been procured by Herr R. Grauer 

 on the higher slopes of the Mufumbiro Volcanoes, which lie to the west of Lake Kivu. 



[A single female specimen of this beautiful Bush-Shrike was obtained by Mr. Gerald 

 Legge in the Mubuku Valley at an altitude of 9000 feet. It was seen among the tops 

 of some tall trees in company with another bird, probably the male, which unfortunately 

 escaped. These examples were the only ones seen. The ovaries of this female were 

 slightly enlarged. — B. B. W.~\

In the figure of this species given in the ' Proceedings of the Zoological Society,' the 

 crown is incorrectly coloured, and should be of a dark chestnut, quite different from 

 the breast. In the male (No. 3609) the light tips of the median wing-coverts are 

 mostly pale yellow ; one of the females (No. 537) shows traces of yellow, but in the 

 second female (No. 557), which is marked " breeding," the tips of the median wing- 

 coverts are pure white, as is the case in all other specimens in the British Museum.
