Sylviella Baraks Sharpe. (Plate XIX. fig. 6, egg.)

a-d. 6 . Fort Beni, Semliki Valley, 3000 ft., 22nd-24th July. [Nos. 1747. I). C. ; 

 3510, 353 7, 3523. 11. B. IT.] 



Iris hazel or light brown ; bill dusky horn-colour ; feet flesh-colour or brown. 



This species can be distinguished from fully adult examples of the very closely 

 allied 8. virens (Cassin) by having the superciliary stripe, as well as the chin and 

 throat, dull whitish instead of rufous, the chest less rufous, and the upper breast 

 greyer. Less mature examples of the two forms appear to be indistinguishable. The 

 "West African S. virens is a rather more brightly coloured bird on the throat and 

 chest. 



The specimens in the present collection are no doubt fully adult, and No. 3510 is 

 marked "breeding" by Mr. Woosnam. 



The egg figured forms part of Mr. F. J. Jackson's collection.
