I find that the two species are identical, and the bird must 



stand as Criniger scandens (Swains.). 

 Ibis, 1870, p. 52. — Nectarinia fantensis (no, 103) is N.phao- 



thorax of Dr. Hartlaub, as already pointed out by that 



gentleman (supra, p. 443) . 

 , p. 53. — Cassinia finschi (no. 104). The Leydeu Mu- 

 seum also has a specimen of this bird from Fantee. 

 , p. 55. — Laniarius ckloris (no. 107) is the type of the new 



genus Nicator, Hartl. & Finsch (Vog. Ost.-Afr. p. 359), 



and should stand as N. chloris (Val.). 



As in my former papers on this subject, a dagger (f) is

My new genus, Oxylabes, lately described, from Madagascar 

 (c/. P. Z. S. 1870, p. 386), is closely allied, and indeed hardly 

 separable. The species now sent comes very near to A. castanea, 

 Cassin, but is distinguishable at once by the white tips to the 

 tail-feathers, as well as by other small differences.
