Las separated the birds found in the lake district (from 

 Lake Zwai to Lake Ganjule) under the above name, but 

 the characters which are said to distinguish this subspecies 

 from typical C. smiihi do not appear to be of any 

 importance. 



193. Crateropus OMoiJNSis. 



Crater opus leucopygius omoensis Neumann; J. f. O. 1906, 

 p. 262. 



The Omo Babbling-Thrush is rather a distinct form 

 and is easily recognised by having the lores, fore-part of 

 the cheek; chin, and throat blackish. It Avas found by 

 Zaphiro in the same country uhere Mr. Neumann obtained 

 it, viz.; at Kullo (June), at Gofa and Vha (July); and 

 at Walamo and Kaml)ata (September), at altitudes varying 

 from 4000 to 7000 feet. The birds killed in July are in 

 moult. 



194. Crateropus tenebrosus. 



Crateropus tenebrosus Ilartl. Zoul. Jahrb. 1887, p. 'U3, 

 pi. xii. ; Reich, iii. p. 662 (1905). 



The Natural History Museum now possesses five examples 

 of this rare Babbling-Thrush. A male in the present col- 

 lection vi^as obtained at Tchega, in Gofa, 5500 feet, on the 

 25th of June, and Mr. Gilbert Blaine recently procured a 

 pair on the Assua River, Bahr-el-Jebel (Equatorial Province 

 of Uganda). In addition to these the Museum possessed 

 two specimens from Fort Berkeley, close to the last-named 

 locality. The plate of C. tenebrosus given by Hartlanb (/. c.) 

 is not very satisfactory; the bird beiug rather too rufous, 

 especially on the flanks. The pair shot by Mr. Blaine do 

 not appear to differ in plumage, except that the male is 

 somewhat greyer on the chest. 



195. Argya rubiginosa. 



Argya rubiginosa (Rui)p.) ; Erlanger, J. f. O. 1905, p. 738; 

 Reich, iii. p. 672 (1905;. 



The Rufous- breasted Babbling-Thrush was met with at 

 Suksuki near Lake Zwai in January; to the north-east of
