162 RicHMOND, Wew Birds from East Africa. Aen 
The pattern of coloration is in general so much like that of 
L. multicolor of the Malaconotus group (a species not accessible 
to me except through the colored plate in Gray’s ‘Genera of 
Birds’), that I think it must be nearly related to this species. It 
differs very decidedly, however, as a comparison with the above 
description will show. 
The rictal bristles are weak; the nostrils are rounded and 
almost entirely hidden by the black feathers at the base of 
the culmen ; nuchal hairs are present. The tail is slightly grad- 
uated, the difference in length between the middle and outermost 
rectrices being .40 inch. 
One specimen only of this handsome species was obtained ; 
it appears to be quite distinct from any known species, and it is 
with great pleasure that I dedicate it to Dr. Abbott, who has 
labored so assiduously in the last few years to increase the col- 
lections of the U. S. National Museum. 
8. Prionops vinaceigularis, new species. 
Type. — No. 118136, U. S. N. M., male, adult; Plains east of Mount 
Kilimanjaro, October 1, 1888; Dr. W. L. Abbott, collector. 
Crest grayish white, only slightly developed; fore crown grayish white, 
passing into dark vinaceous-cinnamon on the hind crown, this color con- 
tinuing down on sides of head over ear-coverts, narrowly over eyes to 
lores, and on cheeks, passing into lighter vinaceous-cinnamon on throat ; 
the color of the cheeks, ear-coverts, superciliary line and lores mixed with 
white, the latter almost pure in a patch below the eyes; lower throat and 
rest of under parts white, this color passing up on sides of neck and over 
nape, where somewhat broken by a black patch continuous with that of 
the back; back, rump, and upper tail-coverts black, some of the feathers 
of the latter narrowly edged with buff ; wings black, with an oblique, 
white bar across primaries (except the first), visible only on under side; 
secondaries and inner primaries tipped narrowly with brownish buff, 
some of the former also indistinctly edged on outer webs with the same 
color; wing-coverts black, some of the inner teathers of the middle and 
greater series tipped with white; alula and primary coverts edged and 
tipped with whitish buff; under wing-coverts and axillaries black; tail 
black, middle pair of feathers wholly so, next pair slightly notched with 
white at tips; three following pairs with increased white terminal notches, ~ 
and outer pair wholly white on outer web, but basal two-thirds of inner 
web black. “Feet red; bare skin around eyes green; irides yellow.”
