Fort Hill, July. An adult female. This species ranges 

 from Angola into Eastern Africa from the Zambesi (Nyasa- 

 land) to the Equator (Lamu), and its ally, B.minuta, ranges 

 over the Congo and Gold Coast districts to the Upper White 

 Nile. To which of these two belongs the Uganda bird 

 {Telephonus minutus, Reichen. J. f. 0. 1892, p. 39) I am 

 unable to tell, not having seen a specimen from that locality. 

 B. anchietee is readily distinguished from B. minuta in having 

 no black on the scapulars. The females of both species are 

 distinguished from their respective males by having a broad 

 white eyebrow.
