The Red-throated Bishop-Bird was met with at Uba, 

 Garao, Lake Abbaya, and Lake Koya, wliere a few males, 

 both adult and immature, were procured. Birds from Lake 

 Stefanie have been separated as P. pusilla Hartert, on 

 account of their slightly smaller size, but the difference is 

 triflinsr. Adult males in the small series before me measure 

 63-64 mm., and immature examples 59-G2 mm.

Adult males of Ansorge's Bishop-Bird were obtained at 

 Kullo in June, and at Gofa in July. Prof. Neumann pro- 

 cured a male specimen at the Akobo River. The adult 

 female appears to be still undescribed, l)ut immature birds 

 were obtained by the Ruwenzori Expedition.

RuppelPs Black-and-yellow Bishop-Bird was met with only 

 on the high ground in the neighbourhood of Addis Abbaba, 

 ranging up to 8000 ft. on Mount Yeka. An example from 

 the Managasha Forest marked " ? •" has the chest and sides 

 of the breast heavily streaked with blackish and appears to 

 be an immature male.

An adult pair of the Chestnut-crowned Sparrow-Weaver 

 are included in the present collection. A male from Gofa, 

 5500 fl., was shot on 25th of June, and a female from the 

 plain of Kucha, 6200 ft., was obtained on the 14th of 

 September. 



This is rather a scarce species in collections, and Zaphiro 

 remarked that he had never met with it previously.
