This remarkable little bird has no near ally. It comes 

 nearest to C. lata Sharpe, from Ruwenzori (see Bull. B. O. C. 

 xiii. p. 9), but besides its distinctive characters it is con- 

 siderably smaller than the East-African species. 

 Adult C. herberti. 



Total length 3*5 inches, culmen 05, wing T9, tail 1*1, 

 tarsus 0-7. {Type. Near Bakaki, 6000 feet, Nov. 20, 

 1902.) 



Adult C. lata. 



Total length 4 inches, culmen 05, wing 2*3, tail 1*55, 

 tarsus 0'9. (Type. Brit. Mus.) 



I found this Cryptolopha rare. The two specimens ob- 

 tained were shot from the top of a high tree in the vicinity 

 of our first camping-ground on the way up to the Peak, at 

 an altitude of 6000 feet. 



Named after Mr. Herbert Alexander.
