A somewhat rare bird, I think. I have not seen a 

 specimen myself, Baraka having obtained all the four so 

 far met with. 



[M. baraka seems to be distinct enough from M. elgonensis, 

 being darker and having an olivaceous shade over the upper 

 surface, as well as on the throat and fore-neck. It appears 

 however, to be very close to, if not identical with, M. abys- 

 sinica. The specimens which I identified in 'The Ibis' for 

 1902, p. 114, from Entebbe, as M. elgonensis, now seem to 

 me to be quite distinct, being very dark slaty-brown both 

 above and on the throat and fore-neck, and vinous chestnut 

 on the abdomen and flanks. I propose to call this Thrush 

 Merula johnstoni, n. sp. — R. B. S.]
