NO. iin. BIRDS FROM MOUNT KILIMANJARO— OBERHOLSER. 905 



Kiliinaiijuro, though since recorded from the IJluguru Mountains, 

 (lerniait East Africa, southwest of Zanzi))ar," the occiput and cervix 

 liave a noticea])ly shity shade, in contrast to the clear ])rown of crown 

 and forehead; the ))ack, sides of breast, and edgings of wino-([uills 

 and wino-coverts are ahnost clear (jlive green; the lining of the wing- 

 is distinctly 3xllowish; there are onl}' three outer tail-feathers tipped 

 with white; the abdomen is much deeper yellow than in A^xil'ix flie><- 

 crh(; and the thighs are much darker ])rown, with a considerable 

 admixture of yellowish olive green, which is almost entireh' a))sent in 

 this new species. There seems to l)e little, if any, difference in size 

 between A. (jr>xelcej)ii and A. thescela. The type of the latter, as well 

 as the specimens of A. griseicej)s obtained by Doctor Abbott, were 

 taken at about the same season, and are in fresh perfect pkunage, 

 excellent for })urposes of comparison. The original exampK\s of ^I. 

 <jrl>«'lcej>s came from iin altitude of about 10,000 feet, and it seems 

 probable that from what is now known of its distril)ution tlie species 

 does- not occur nuich lower down than this, its ])lace on the lower 

 slopes of the mountain l>eing taken ])y Ap(tJ!i< tl/r.^crhc. 



APALIS GRISEICEPS Reichenow and Neumann. 



Afxilis ijriseici'j)!^ llKWHKtiow and Neumann, ( )rnith. MoiiatHl km-. , 1 S95, p. To (Mount 

 Kilimanjaro, East Afrit-a). 



Two specimens from Mount Kilimanjaro: one, a male, taken July 

 Hi, 1S88, at 10,0(»0 feet; the other, with sex undetermined, obtained 

 at 9,000 feet, July 30, 1888. The latter seems to be adult, and in 

 most respects is just like the other, but has a rather paler head and 

 only a narrow, incomplete, black jugular band. It appears thus to be 

 in inunature pluniage, but if so is hardly a l)ii-(l of the year. Can it 

 ))e an adult female?

Onv adult from Kahe, south of Mount Kilimanjaro, September 7, 

 188S. ''Iris light brown."" This example is marked female, though 

 possessing the small black breast spot which Doctor Reichenow states 

 is found only in the male. '^ So far as may be determined from 

 descriptions Doctor Ab])ott\s specimen is quite different from Expri- 

 /lodcsf'orocinctKs'-^ from Ukam])ani and agrees perfectlv with F. r/oldl, 

 which seems to take the place of E. fiavochictm in Masai Land. The 

 back and rump are clear yellowish olive green; the head slate gray,
