Birds from Southern A/jf/ssinia. 627 



Equatorial Africa the under mandible seems to be generally 

 plumbeous. I am unable to say if this slight diflei'ence of 

 a dark under mandible is constant in tiie south Abyssinian 

 bird. 



205. Parisoma galinieri. 



Parophasma galinieri (Giier.) ; Keich. iii. p. 743 (1905) ; 

 Neumann, J. f. 0. 1906, p. 281. 



Dr. Reicheuow has created the genus Parophasma for this 

 Flycatcher- Warbler, but I cannot see any good reason for 

 separating it from Parisoma as it is evidently of the same 

 genus as P. subcaruleum, which is the type of that genus 

 (c/. Ibis, 1900, p. 153). 



Specimens in the present collection were procured near 

 Addis Abbaba in October, at Kullo in June, and at Gofa in 

 July. It should be noted that the grey plumage in this 

 species soon becomes brownish with wear. 



206. Parisoma plumbea. 



Parisoma plumbea (Hartl.) ; Reich, iii. p. 521 (1905). 



Two female examples of the Grey Flycatcher- Warbler 

 were killed in the Charada Forest in May and to the east of 

 Lake Rudolf in July. Both are in worn plumage, especially 

 the latter. The species was procured on the Upper White 

 Nile by Emin, but does not appear to have been recorded 

 before from southern Abyssinia. 



207. Parisoma boehmi. 



Parisoma bohmi Reich. ; Reich, iii. p. 521 (1905). 



A female example of Bohra^s Flycatcher- Warbler was 

 procured in Konso on the 27th of August; it is unusually 

 pale on the flanks, having only a small patch of rufous-buff. 



208. Parisoma lugens. 



Parisoma lugens (Riipp.) ; Ogilvie-Grant, Ibis, 1900, 

 p. 153 ; Reich, iii. p. 5^2 (1905). 



Zaphiro was fortunate enough to procure a small 

 series of Riippell's Brown Warbler, which seems to be 

 fairly common in the neighbourhood of Addis Abbaba, but 

 was not met with elsewhere.
