(1. d. 



[Nos. 195, 196, 197. B. E. D. ; 1277. D. C. ; 2212, 2237. G. X.] 



Iris dark brown, chestnut, or dark hazel ; bill black; feet whitish, pale flesh, or pale 

 brown. 



The type-specimen of this very distinct species was procured by Mr. Geoffrey Archer 

 during his short visit to Ruwenzori in February 1902. 



[The Grey-eyebrowed Robin-Chat was found on Ruwenzori at elevations of from 

 6500 to 9000 ft., frequenting the forest-zone and the lower edges of the bamboo. It 

 appeared to be particularly fond of the soldier-ants and might often be seen attacking 

 a column of these insects as they crossed a path or open spot. Whether it really ate 

 the ants, or merely snatched away the eggs they were carrying, was a point we could 

 never decide ; probably the eggs were the attraction, for it seems difficult to imagine 

 anything more unsatisfactory than a meal of angry soldier-ants. — B. B. W.~\

a. 6 . Eturi Forest near Irumu, 3000 ft., 18th Aug. [No. 3550. R. B. W. Type 

 of the species.] 



In general appearance the adult male of this species is similar to A. diademata 

 (Bonap.), but is rather larger and has all the tail-feathers black to the tip. The upper- 

 parts, especially the lower back and rump, are more rufescent. 



The iris is hazel, the bill black, and the feet grey. Total length 7-2 inches; 

 wing 3'9 ; tail (in moult) 3T5 ; tarsus T05. 



[A single specimen of Woosnam's Robin-Chat, the only one seen, was obtained at 

 the bottom of a densely-wooded valley which joins the Eturi Forest near Irumu.—
