Iris hazel or light brown ; bill brown, light brown, or flesh-colour; feet pale brown 

 or flesb-colour. 



The fine series of this species in the present collection makes it clear that P. hilde- 

 gardce Sharpe must be regarded as a synonym ; the supposed different colour of the 

 bill, which I at one time regarded as a distinctive character, being evidently of no 

 importance. 



[The Beautiful Bush-Warbler was plentiful all around the south end of Ruwenzori, 

 both on the plains at the foot of the mountains and in the Semliki Valley. Its 

 favourite haunt, was the tops of the smaller acacia-trees. — B. B. If'.]

[A few examples of Emin's Bush-Warbler were found on Ruwenzori up to 7000 ft., 

 but they were uncommon. They were plentiful on the plains below the mountains, 

 frequenting the more dense vegetation along the banks of streams. Two nests were 

 found, one at the beginning of May and the other at ths end of July, but both 

 contained young birds. One nest was suspended from a single creeper hanging over a 

 stream, under a great mass of tangled vegetation and creepers forming quite a tunnel. 

 The other was in a very similar situation, but was placed among the creepers and not 

 suspended. Both nests were partially domed and composed of fine roots and moss. 

 This bird lias a short but very loud song composed of flute-like notes. — B. B. IF.]
