The Grey-breasted Bush- Warbler was met with at Gorama, 

 Jimma, Konso, Gamo, Lake Abbaya (Margherita), and Lake 

 Zwai, in various months of the year. 



A quite young bird killed at Lake Abbaya in September 

 has the crown and upperparts uniform olive-brown and the 

 breast and belly whitish washed with yellow down the 

 middle ; older examples killed in December and January 

 have the crown and upperparts greyish-olive-brown, the 

 chest tinged with bi'ownish and the middle of the breast and 

 belly mostly whitish ; the most adult examples have the 

 crown and upperparts dark greyish-brown, and the throat 

 and underparts generally grey, indistinctly barred, and the 

 middle of the lower breast and belly more or less white.

Examples of the Yellow-bellied Bush- Warbler were met 

 with in the lake country, from Lake Zwai southwards to 

 Konso, north of Lake Stefanie. They agree perfectly with 

 a specimen from north-east Abyssinia.
