Kilimanjaro, 10,000—12,000 ft. 
45, ALCIPPE KILIMENSIS, N. sp. 
Upper half of the head and back of the neck leaden grey, gradually 
passing into paler grey on the throat and front of the breast ; back 
and seapulars uniform yellowish brown; wings dark brown, all the 
feathers broadly edged with the same shade as the back ; tail-feathers 
dark brown, partially edged with yellowish brown; centre of the 
breast white, washed on the sides with grey and then passing into 
yellowish brown, of a paler shade than the back, on the sides of the 
body ; under tail-coverts ashy white, slightly tinted with pale yellow- 
ish brown; under surface of the quills slate-colour, with white 
inner margins to the feathers ; under wing-coverts white. Bill brown, 
paler towards the base of the lower mandible; legs brown. Total 
length 5:2 inches, culmen 0°55, wing 2:7, tail 2°6, tarsus 0°85. 
Kilimanjaro, 6000 ft., August. 
I have placed this bird in the genus Alcippe, a genus new to 
Africa, as its affinities appear to be with A. cinerea, Blyth, from 
Malayana, rather than with any other species known tome. Com- 
pared with that bird, it differs mostly in its rather larger bill, its 
entirely grey head and neck, and in the total absence of rufous shade 
on the wings and tail.

7. CISTICOLA HUNTERI, Nn. sp. 
Similar to C. subruficapilla, but a larger bird and much more 
dingily coloured, distinguished by the almost entire absence of rufous 
on the quills, and absolute absence of rufous on the tail. 
Upper parts dusky brown, with large blackish centres to the 
feathers ; edges of the feathers of the crown and wing slightly more 
rufous ; tail-feathers with pale ends and a broad black subterminal 
bar, very distinct beneath. Underparts whitish ash, slightly paler 
and buffer on the chin, upper throat, and centre of the breast ; thighs 
rufous-brown; under surface of the wings dusky black, with the 
coverts and inner edges of the quills ashy white. Bill black ; legs 
brown. Total length 6 inches, culmen 0°5, wing 2°5, tail 3:1, 
tarsus 1.
