 Since I gave P. camerunensis specific rank, further material 

 has come to hand and I find that the characters of the sup- 

 posed new species are not constant. This Weaver-bird is 

 locally distributed on the high lands of the island. In 

 favoured localities it is fairly numerous, going about in small 

 flocks. It breeds in November.
