 tius ; not in Madagascar and Mayotte. Underparts grey ; upper 

 parts red brown ; head black. Never attains long tail-feathers, and 

 never becomes white and black. 



TschitRjEA mutata. Madagascar and Mayotte. 



Ceblepyris cana. North-eastern and north-western coasts of

Dicrurus waldent, Schlegel, Contr. in Tvdschrift, I. c. May- 

 otte. An Indian form. Dr. Kirk (see Dr. Sclater, Ibis, 1864, p. 299) 

 mentions D. forficatus as inhabiting Aujouan. We should not 

 wonder if the Anjouan bird, when closely examined, turns out to be 

 D. ivaldeni.

Pastor tristis. Introduced in Reunion and Mauritius, also on 

 the eastern coast of Madagascar (E. Newton). 



Hartlaubia madagascariensis, Bonaparte. North-western 

 coast. 



Ploceus pensilis. North-western coast. Note that Ploceus 

 sakalava, Hartlaub, certainly does not come from Madagascar, and 

 that the name of Soui-di-Seye given to this bird should be Foudice, 

 which is the Sakkalava name of Ploceus pensilis. 



Ploceus algond^e, Pollen. A beautiful new species from 

 Mayotte. Larger than P. madagascariensis, and bill longer ; head, 

 breast, and upper tail-coverts orange ; rest of the underparts oliva- 

 ceous grey washed with yellow ; back olivaceous.
