 We follow Claude Grant in referring these birds to 

 Riippell's diadematus, from which we believe, notwith- 

 standing what Zedlitz (J. f. O. 1915, p. 11) states, Ogilvie- 

 Grant's /. lovati cannot be distinguished.

This Honey-Guide exactly matches a series in the Museum 

 from Cameroon collected by Bates which have been identified 

 as /. exilis ; from this last, however, they all differ in their 

 considerably larger size, the wing measuring in LcpygmcBUS 

 73-80 ram. as compared with 63-67 of the true exilis from 

 Gaboon. 



Tliis form combines the heavily-striped back of the exilis 

 with the larger size of the minor group, and appears to form 

 a link between the two.

These birds appear to be indistinguishable from the 

 typical race of this species from southern and central Africa. 

 The wing-measurement in each case is 80 mm. Our birds 

 have the two outer pairs of tail-feathers, which are consider- 

 ably worn, pure white. It appears that these feathers, when 

 they first appear, are brown and wear to white. P. r.peasei 

 O.-Grant of southern Abyssinia, as pointed out by C. Grant 

 (Ibis, 1915, p. 437), only differs by its slightly larger size. 



Feeds on the flowers of the '' Tartar " tree {Sterculia 

 cinerea), on which I always found it {A. L. £.).
