No. 253. S ad. Save, Elgon, 6000 feet, Feb. 12, 1890.— 



Iris crimson. First seen on Mt. Elgon in pairs. 

 No. 331. ^. Kimangitschi, Feb. 27. — Bill black; iris 

 crimson; feet scaly brown. 

 This new species belongs to the section of the genus Melit- 

 tnphagus which embraces M. lafresnayi and M. variegatus. 

 It is more nearly allied to the latter bird, as it has only a 

 narrow blue supercilium, and lacks the blue forehead of 

 M. lafresnayi. It differs from both, however, in having a 

 large black patch on the lower throat. Although this patch 

 has a slight wash of blue, yet it is not bright blue, as in the 

 two species above mentioned, and M. oreobates further differs 

 in the much less conspicuous amount of fawn-colour on the 

 wings and tail,
