 brown ; bill black ; irides orauge-red. Breeding in 

 swamp. 

 No. 31. Elgeyo, July 9, 1890. 



Count Salvador! thinks that I am wrong in having united 

 H. jacksoni to H. dimidiatus, as the black on the head appa- 

 rently extends further on to the nape in the former species. 



46. Hyphantornis vitellinus. 



Hyphantornis vitellinus, Sharpe, Cat, B. Brit. Mus. xiii. 



p. 462 (1890); Fischer, Zeitschr. i. p. 331 (1884; Nguru- 



man) ; id. J. f. O. 1885, p. 133. 



Nos. 33, 34. S ? ad. Kamassia, July 12, 1890.— The male 

 has the bill black ; legs pale lilac flesh-colour ; irides 

 crimson. Found this pair building a nest. In the 

 female the bill was "^ dusky, the legs flesh-colour, the 

 irides pale crimson.'^ 

 This is not H. reichardi of Reichenow, as I expected it would 



be ; but at the same time it is not quite true H. vitellinus, 



as it has somewhat more black at the base of the forehead. 



47. Hyphantornis spekii.
