P'marochroa sordida djamdjamensis Reich, iii. p. 714 (1905) 

 [part.]. 



The specimens of this Bush-Chat sent by Zaphiro 

 were obtained on Mt. Yeka, 8000 feet, close to Addis 

 Abbaba, in September, and in the Managasha Forest in 

 October. They appear to differ slightly from typical 

 examples of P. sordida, procured by Blauford near Antalo 

 and on the Wadela plateau, in being rather larger and in 

 having a somewhat longer wing and tail.

The only example of Blanford's Mountain-Chat in the 

 National collection was the type-specimen, a male, obtained 

 in Bogosland. Zaphiro secured two female examples of 

 this rare bird on the north-eastern shore of Lake Rudolf in 

 August. One closely resembles the male type ; the other 

 Las the breast darker, washed with smoky brown. The 

 wing-measurement is 78 mm. (3'05 in.) in both specimens.
