1867.] DR. G. HARTLAUB ON THE BIRDS OF ZANZIBAR. 825 



Cinnyris discolor, Bianconi, Spec. Zool. Mos. iii. p. 32. 



C. iianconii, Haiti. 



It was my friend Mr. Otto Finsch who directed my attention to 

 the fact of tliis beautiful species being the old Brissonian bird ! No 

 doubt about it. It is difficult to understand how Gray and Bona- 

 parte could have made a Ccereba of it. 



There is no material difference between Natal and Zanzibar speci- 

 mens, though a more eastern species, N. yutturalis, has been col- 

 lected of late by Dr. Welwitsch and others in Loanda (conf. Barb, du 

 Boc. Poss. Portug. p. 7). 



10. CiSTICOLA SCHOSNICOLA, Bp. 



Quite the same as the European bird. 



1 1 . Ixos NIGRICANS, VieiU. 

 Several adult specimens. 



12. AnDROPADUS FL.AVESCENS, n. sp.

 cens, gutture et lateribus olivaceo adumbj-atis ; margine alari

 tibus.

Very similar in colour to Andropadus insularis from Madagascar, 

 but considerably smaller. There are now eight species of Andro- 

 padus known, viz. Andropadi importunus, latirostris, graciliros- 

 tris, curvirostris, virens, errjihropterus, insularis, and Jlavescens.

hus ; gutture confertirn et conspicue maculato. 

 Long, rostr. 6'", ah^ 3" 1"', caudse 1" 10'", tars. Hi'". .

 boon collections. 



15. Dryoscopus orientalis. Swains. 



Two specimens, exactly corresponding with the description given 

 by Swainson (Menag. p. 342), in Heine's collection from South 

 Africa (Mus. Hein. i. p. 68). 



16. Dryoscopus sublacteus, Cass.? 



Av. jun. Supra obscure fuliginoso-nigricans ; tergi et uropygii
