In the ' Hand -list ' I omitted to record Bradyornis 

 benyuellensis of Souza, Jorn. Lisb. 1886, p. 160. The 

 Museum possesses a specimen of this bird presented by 

 Professor Barboza du Bocage, and from the light margins 

 to the greater wing-coverts and outer tail-feathers it is 

 evidently a close ally of B. infuscatus , and not of B. murinus, 

 with which Prof. Souza compared it. It is a little more 

 reddish brown above and has a whiter throat and abdomen, 

 but there is not very much difference between the two forms. 

 A specimen from Benguela obtained by Monteiro is very 

 much paler than more southern birds, and is more ashy on 

 the head and chest.
