about the tree-tops. The presumably young birds are dark 

 olive-green above, with the crown washed with brown ; the 

 underside white with a creamy tinge ; the flanks washed 

 with greyish olive. Wing-feathers edged with olive-green ; 

 loral spot grey ; upper eyelid pure white ! These birds 

 differ so much from adults that I am not satisfied that these 

 are young of this species. 



Localities, Mubango, Kasala, Mabira, and Kyetema, also 

 on the wooded banks of the Sezibwa River, in Uganda.

Imm. 3. 



This bird was recently described. It differs from A. ni- 

 griceps in the colour of the three outer pairs of tail-feathers, 

 which are white for their entire length ; in the much more 

 golden-yellow uppersides, and in having a broad bright 

 yellow band on the hind neck. 



Immature and young birds are represented in this series. 

 It is a forest-species which keeps to the tree-tops ; they go 

 in pairs or small flocks of from four to six. 



Localities. Mabira, Bugoma, Kasala, and Ituri Forests, 

 in Uganda. 



Apalis flavocincta. 



c? & ? . 20. vi. 14. 



This pair had a nest in my garden, they built it in 

 the fork of the topmost bough of a fir-tree. The nest — 

 a small semi-domed structure — was composed of lichen, 

 vegetable-down and cobwebs, and was well padded inside 

 with cotton-down. Three eggs were laid, oval in shape, of a 

 bluish-green ground, with a few scattered spots of liver- 

 colour and brown. 



Localities. Nairobi and Kyambu, in British East Africa.
