I. — Second List of Birds collected by Mr. Alexander Whyte, 

 F.Z.S., in Nyasaland. By Captaiu G. E. Shelley, F.Z.S. 



(Plates I. & II.) 



My first list of the birds of Nyasaland, which was published 

 in this Journal last year (see Ibis, 1893, p. 1), contains the 

 names of 134 species, 12 of which were described as new. 

 One of these, Hirundo astigma (Ibis, 1893, p. 19), is the 

 same as H. emifii, Reichen. (J. f. O. 1892, pp. 30, 215), as I 

 have ascertained by the examination of a typical specimen of 

 that species lately received by the British Museum. I also 

 find that no. 75 of my first list (p. 20) is not Dryoscopus 

 sticturus, Finsch & Hartl., but D. mossambicus, Fischer & 

 Keichen., and that no. 78 (p. 20) is not Nilaus capensis, 

 but its more northern representative, N. nigritemporalis, 

 Reich en. 



My present list, which is based on two collections (of 

 about 1030 specimens together) lately received by Mr. Sclater 

 from Mr. H. H. Johnston, C.B., having been made under 

 his superintendence by Mr. Alexander Whyte, F.Z.S., con- 

 tains the names of 205 species, of which 102 were not repre- 

 sented in Mr. Whyte's previous collections. Of these 102
