123. TSCHAGRA HABESSINICA ERLANGERI. 



Telophonus sener/alus ei'langeri Neumann, J. f, O. 1907, 

 p. 373.

 V. pt. ii. p. 371 (1912) [part.]. 



Erlanger's Black-headed Bush-Shrike was met with by 

 Zaphiro throughout the greater part of his journey and 

 was obtained in almost every month of the year. 



The birds are on the whole rather larger and darker above 

 than specimens of the true T. habessinica from northern 

 Abyssinia. 



In eleven males the wing measures from 53-62 mm., in 

 three females it varies from 55'5-58 mm.

Tiie Lesser Bush-Shrike Avas met with near the Gibbe 

 River, in Guma, Gomma, Jimma, Kaffa and Kulloj be-

 separating this species generically from the species included 

 in Tscltagra, for instance, T. senegala.

 (1912). 



The Lesser Brubru was met with in August in the country 

 between the northern ends of Lakes Rudolf and Stefanie. 

 Professor Neumann's division of this species into various 

 forms (see J. f. O. 1907, p. 3G2), as Mr. Sclater has already 

 pointed out, appears to me quite inadmissible ; also, I
