The female is smaller than the male and is slightly paler 

 on the under parts.

 tarsus 065. (Moka, Nov. 13, 190&.) 



This Warbler is allied to A. cinerea Sharpe, from Mount 

 Elgon, East Africa, but differs chiefly in having the entire 

 under parts deeper in colour with little or no white except on 

 the abdomen. 



We first obtained this species on our way up the mountain 

 at an elevation of over 5000 feet. The flight is airy as the 

 bird flits from one tree to another. It is locally distributed 

 on the high ground throughout the island. My collector 

 obtained a good series of five specimens near the Moka Lake. 

 In November the bird, was breeding, all our specimens being 

 in considerably worn plumage. 



Named after Dr. P. L. Sclater, F.R.S. 



Urolais, gen. nov. 



This remarkable genus is allied to the genera Apalis and 

 Chlorodyta, but is easily distinguishable from them by its 

 very long graduated tail of ten feathers. 



A specimen of Urolais maria with the tail shortened would 

 closely resemble in structure and general style of coloration 

 Chlorodt/ta fiavida (S trickl . ) .
