628 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant on 



Lord Lovat found it plentiful locally in upper Lika and 

 procured two specimens, hitherto tlic ouly representatives of 

 this species in the National Collection. 



209. Chloropeta massaica. 



Chloropeta natalensis massaica Fisch. & Reich, and C. n. 

 umbrinicpjis Neumann ; Reich, ii. p. 465 (1903). 



Chloropeta massaica Ogilvie-Grant, Trans. Zool. Soc. xix. 

 p. 396 (1910). 



Examples of the Masai Yellow Flycatcher were procured 

 at Jimma, Konta and KuUo^ at altitudes of from 4000 to 

 5500 feet. The type-specimens of C. n. iimbriniceps 

 Neumaun were obtained in Malo. The supposed darker 

 brown colour of the crown is of no importance, and the 

 birds collected by Zaphiro differ in no way from typical 

 C. massaica. 



210, Platystira cyanea ^thiopica. 



PJahjstcira cyanea aethiopica Neumann, J, f. 0. 1905, 

 p. 210. 



In using Prof. Neumann's name for the south Abyssinian 

 form of P. cyanea (Miiller) I do so with some hesitation. 

 He has distinguished this subspecies on account of its some- 

 what smaller size. In the female of P. cyanea the foreneck 

 and chest are uniform dark chestnut almost to the breast, 

 only the basal margin being blackish, but in two female 

 examples collected in May at Gunia and Jimma respectively, 

 the foreneck is chestnut widely bordered below with black, 

 giving these parts in the two specimens referred to an 

 unusual appearance ; in a third specimen, however, from 

 Gomma, also killed in May, the colouring of the chest is 

 normal. Wing-measurement 60-61 mm. 



211. Batis orientalis. 



Batis orientalis (Heugl.) ; Reich, ii. p. 481 (1903); 

 Ogilvie-Grant, Trans. Zool. Soc. xix. p. 398 (1910), 



Batis senegalensis orientalis Neumann, J, f. O. 1905, 

 p. 209.
