d. c? ad. Okoto, Sept. 7, 1894. Iris dark brown; base of 



under mandible yellow-ochre ; legs light horn-colour. 



e. cT ad. Sheik Husein, Sept. 24, 1894. Iris dark brown ; base 



of under mandible yellow-ochre ; legs light grey. 

 This is a Sboan species, and was not known to Heuglin from 

 any other locality. It is rare in that country, according to 

 Antinori, but Dr. Eagazzi appears to have met with it more 

 plentifully near Ambokarra in May, and at the Farre Falls in 

 March and July.

 (March, 1895). 



a. 2 • Sheik Husein, Sept. 28, 1893. Iris dark brown. 



This new species is closely allied to Cossypha subrufescens of 

 Socage, but the back is dark grey, as also are the wings, the quills 

 not showing the light grey margins which are seen in C. subrufescens. 

 This species is further distinguished by its uniform outer tail- 

 feathers, which do not show the dusky edgings seen in the last- 

 named species and in C. heuglini also.

This species was found by Heuglin only at Aniob, in the Kidj 

 Negro district, and on the banks of the Bahr-el-Djebel. Mr. Jackson 

 met with it at Njemps, on Lake Barengo, in July, and it occurs at 

 difierent places from Lake Naivascha to the coast-region of Baga- 

 moyo, and the Pangani Eiver.

a. 2 ad. Sheik Mahomed, Nov. 1, 1894. Iris dark brown. 



Heuglin states that this is one of the commonest species in the 

 Abyssinian highlands, from the Pass of Taranta and Mensa to 

 Western Amhara, south to the Gala country, but never found 

 below 5000 feet. 



Common in Shoa, at Licce and Fecherie-Ghem, from October 

 to February, according to Antinori. It was also found to be very 

 common at Falle in January by Dr. Pagazzi.
