156 Ricumonp, Mew Birds from East Africa. wil 
edge of wing light olive yellow; under wing-coverts light grayish, tipped 
with maize yellow; inner webs of primaries on under surface grayish 
white. In the dried skin the bill is dark brown above, whitish below; feet, 
and tarsi light brown. Wing,%.25 inches; tail, 2.70; tarsus, .77; culmen, 
.63. A second male measures : wing, 3.28; tail, 2.75; tarsus, .76; culmen, 
.61. This specimen is a trifle more olive on the back, rump, and upper 
tail-coverts ; the chest and breast are browner ; buft of under parts deeper, 
and under tail-coverts almost wholly of this color. It was collected 
April 16, 1888, while the type, described above, was taken in August. 
This new species finds its nearest ally in the recently described 
Crithagra albifrons Sharpe, from Kikuyu and Mount Elgon, and 
both species are more or less closely related to C. durtoni from 
the Cameroons. From C. albifrons it differs in the absence of a 
white band across the base of the feathers above the lores, but the 
various more or less concealed white markings about the upper 
throat, cheeks, and below the base of the ear-coverts is an indica- 
tion of close relationship with that species. ‘The chin is black in 
C. kilimensis instead of dusky gray asin C. a/bifrons; the tips of the 
middle and greater wing-coverts are greenish white instead of 
white ; the tips of the greater series are not narrower than those 
of the median coverts. In both size and color C. kelmensis 
stands between C. durtoni and C. albifrons. 
Only two specimens of this species were obtained by Dr. Abbott, 
the type at 6000 feet, and the other at 7000 feet. Other explorers 
of Kilimanjaro have apparently not observed this species. 
2. Crithagra striolata affinis, new subspecies. 
Type. — No. 118319, U. S.N. M.; male, adult, Mount Kilimanjaro, 6000

Upper surface, from forehead to rump yellowish olive, mixed with
