[A few examples of this Robin-Shrike were seen in the acacia-country at the south 

 end of Ruwenzori in the middle of April. From the condition of the testes and 

 ovaries in the specimens examined they did not appear to be breeding. The species 

 was not subsequently met with.— B. B. ]\ .]

mandible ; feet brown. 



This bird seems to differ from typical A. murinus Fisch. & Reich., which was 

 described from the Meru Mountains, Massai, in having a paler abdomen, but in this 

 respect some Abyssinian examples appear to be indistinguishable. 



[This small brown Flycatcher was found on Ruwenzori from an altitude of 5000 to 

 10,000 ft. It frequented chiefly the more rough open country among the cultivated 

 patches below the forest-line, and was generally to be seen perched on a post or on 

 the end of a dead bough, from which it could easily fly after passing insects.-

Iris dark brown ; bill and feet black. 



This species is new to the British Museum Collection. All the specimens which 

 have been named A. pumilus in the Jackson Collection are really referable to the 



above. 



[Hartlaub's Brown Flycatcher was met with only in the papyrus-swamps and among 



the tall reed-beds along the shores of the lakes.— B. B. W.~]
