1H67.] DR. G. HARTLAUB ON THE BIRDS OF ZANZIBAR. 82o 



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



C bianconii, Hard. 



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

 the fact of this 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. gutturalis, has been col- 

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

 Boc. Poss. Portug. p. 7). 



10. CiSTICOLA SCHCENICOLA, Bp. 



Quite the same as the European bird. 



11. Ixos NIGRICANS, Vieill. 

 Several adult specimens. 



12. Andropadus flavescens, n. sp. 



Supra olivaceus, cauda et alls dorso concolorihus ; subtus flaves- 

 cens, gutture et lateribus olicaceo adumbratis ; margine alari 

 et subalaribus Icete Jlavis ; rostra p/umbeo ; pedibus nigi'kan- 

 tibus. 



Long. 6" 4'", rostr. 6"', ate 3" 1'", caudse 2" 10'", tars. 9'". 



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, erythropterus, insularis, and flavescens. 



13. Anthus raaltenii, Licht. 



A. campestri simillimus, sed notcBi coloribus omnino intensiori- 



hus ; gutture confertim et conspicue maculato. 

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

 HartLWest Afr. p. 111. 



Originally described from a Zanzibar specimen. Not rare in Ga- 

 boon collections. 



\h. 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. HS). 



16. Dryoscopus sublacteus, Cass.? 



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