 catalogue of birds in the Seuckenberg Museum. They are 

 named Crateropus larvatus from Madras (!), lole schmakeri 

 from Mindoro, Philippines, and Ammomanes lusitanica par- 

 virostris from Aschabat, Crateropus larvatus may be new, 

 but is almost certainly not from any part of British India,

Dr. Hartlaub now gives us a fourth paper on the birds 

 sent by Emin Pasha from Eastern Africa. The present 

 memoir relates to collections made by Emin during his 

 journey from Albert Nyanza to the coast along with Stanley^s 

 Expedition, and during his prolonged sojourn at Bagamoyo. 

 At the latter epoch Emin was, as is well known, grievously 

 ill and could not give that special attention to his specimens 

 which was his ordinary habit. To these personal collections 

 are added a series obtained by Bohndorf (well known for his 

 splendid collection from the Niam-niam country, described 

 by Dr. Sharpe in 1884"^) at Mtoni, on the Kingani. Alto- 

 gether, therefore, the present memoir relates to some 140 

 species, on the general distinctness of which from those of 

 Emin^s former collections from Wadelai and other neigh- 

 bouring districts of the Equatorial Sudan Dr. Hartlaub com- 

 ments strongly. The present collection contains examples 

 of many species discovered by Fischer in Masailand, and of 

 others obtained by Bohm and Fischer during their journey 

 to the Tanganyika, together with many southern forms, such 

 as Malimbus rubriceps, Lamprocolius melanog aster, Laniarius 

 quadricolor, Nectarinia inai'iquensis , and Turturoena dele- 

 gorguei. The following "eight species are described as new : >*< 

 — Calamoherpe griseldis, Pratincola emmce, Bradypterus 

 ulfredi, Burnesia reichenowi, Erythropygia hartlaubi, Ploceus 

 hohxanthus, Nectarinia filiola, and Sternula novella.
