97. Dryoscopus albofasciatus, sp. n. 



Laniarius csthinpicus (necGm.), Sharpe, Journ. Linn. Soc. 

 xvii. p. 423 (1884). 

 D. similis D. aethiopico, sed secundariis interioribus late albo 



marginatis fasciam alarem longitudinalem formantibus 



distinguendus.

 crimson-brown ; legs horn-blue ; bill black. 



No. 15. c? ad. Elgeyo, July 6, 1890. — Irides crimson- 

 brown ; legs pale horn-blue ; bill black. Plentiful. Saw 

 two family parties. 

 I find that the bird collected by Bohndorff at Semmio in the 



Niam-niam country, and recorded by me [l. s. c), belongs 



to this species and not to D. cethiopicus.
