Erernonieln elegans abyssinica Baniiermau, Bull. B. O. C. 

 xxix. p. 38 (1911). 



Adult male and female. Most nearly allied to E. elegans 

 (Heugl), from which they differ in having the head and 

 nape rather darker grey and less clearly defined from the 

 npperparts, which are of a much darker olive-colour; the 

 breast, belly, and rest of the underparts are [laler yellow. 

 Iris and bill black. Culmen 10 mm.; wing 53; tail 39; 

 tarsus 15. 



A considerable series of this new Bush-Warbler was pro- 

 cured at the following localities : the Didessa River, Guma, 

 Gom.ma, KafFa, Kullo, Walamo, and Lake Zwai in January, 

 May, June, and September. They do not seem to vary in 

 plumage, and differ constantly from E. elegans in the char- 

 acteis given above. 



154. Apalis flavocincta malensis. 



Aj'alis jlavida malensis Neumann, J. f. O. 1906, p. 278. 



Professor Neumann obtained a male example of this bird 

 in the Malo country in January. The McMillan coliecliou 

 contains five specimens obtained in August a little furtlier 

 south in the country to the north of Lakes Rudolf and 

 Stefanie. They are considerably smaller than typical 

 examples of A. flavocincta (Sharpe), and the males have the 

 pale yellow band across the chest widely bordered both above 

 and below Avith dark olive- green, much as in A. viridiceps, 

 but with the dark olive bands more clearly defined. The 

 females have the chest yellow, without any trace of darker 

 bands above and below. The wing-measurement in the male 

 is 47-48 mm, ; iu the female 41*5-47 mm.
