602 JOURNAL OF THE LATE DR. EMIN PASUA. [NoV. 6, 



" Ko. 1893. Ploceus nigricollis, Vieill., $ . 



"No. 1894, 95. 2 ad., S jr. A very striking, probably new 

 species, found on the ground under low brushwood, where it 

 behaved itself like the Erythroj^ygia. 



"No. 1896. Alseonax; cf. no. 1872 etc., ? . 



" No. 1897 ; cf. no. 1889 etc., $ . Exactly alike to no. 1853 ; 

 inner web of primaries rusty red with black tips. I have very 

 carefully dissected this specimen and found it a 5 . It seems, 

 therefore, that the d , besides beiug black, show no rusty red, 

 whereas the $ are grey and show rusty red. 



" No. 1898. Acclpiter J . Never before collected ; seems not 

 fully adult, as the colour of iris and the rusty tips of some second- 

 aries show. Measurements : 332 mm. (9"-28) ; 16 (0"-04) ; 

 138 (5"-52); 99 (3"-S); 35 (l"-4). I do not know if this is a 

 younger bird of A. hartlauhi, Verr., of which I have no description. 



" No. 1899. Eremomela badiceps, Fras., $ . This is only the 

 second specimen of this pretty species I ever collected. The first 

 \\as obtained on June 29, 1891, at Kitimba, Uvamba (0° 43' L.N.), 

 in the forest bordering the western hills of the Semliki- valley. It 

 seems, therefore, with many western birds, to find its eastern limit 

 with 30° L. E. 



" No. 1900 ; cf. nos. 1894, 95. A happy encounter, being the 

 S to the above noted 5 ad. and <S jr. A probably new species. 

 It is to be distinguished from the 2 only by its colours being 

 somewhat darker and the bill being entirely black. 



"No. 1901. Acjapornis {an swinderniana'l), (S . 



"No. 1902. Terpsiphone (an cristata, Gm. ?), S . Seems some- 

 what different from the dark-bellied species, and has certaiidy no 

 white vent nor thighs. 



" On August 1 we left Ipoto for Urumbi ; another Manyuema 

 settlement in the forest. On our way to the Ituri, which has to 

 be crossed, we observed numerous Criniger, CorytJueola, Cuculas, 

 Halcyon senegaleasis, several Malimhus. The banks of the Ituri 

 being thickly clothed with high forest, there were, besides a few 

 Glareola on the rocks in mid-stream, no water-birds visible. Abun- 

 dant are here everywhere different species of Hornbills, from the 

 small Loplioceros camuras to the big Ceratogymna atrata. I mav^ 

 here observe that during our stay at Ipoto no Eaven nor Crow 

 was seen, and of Columhidce only Treron calva and Tympanistria 

 tympanistria were seen. Once I have seen a big Columha {Turtur- 

 oenas?), entirely stone-grey, somewhat scaly, belly and vent pure 

 white, broad circles around eyes bright red : quid ? 



" On August 9th, by the carelessness of our Manyuema headman, 

 the whole batch of collections was thrown in the river Lenda, 

 which had to be crossed by boat. Pity ! On the banks of Lenda 

 river — prim seval forest — numbers of a small entirely black Swallow 

 with white markings on tail or rump. All specimens shot were 

 swept away by the current. 



" No. 1903. Terpsiphone nigriceps^ Hartl., c? . Never before 

 collected.
