Iris dark brown ; bill black ; feet light brown. 



The only example in the British Museum of this beautiful little Bush- Warbler is the 

 t5'pe-specimen, which was procured by Mr. Jackson on Mount Elgon. His collector 

 subsequently procured an adult male and two females at Kibiran, Toro. 



[A few examples of Jackson's Bush-Warbler were met with in the Mpanga Forest, 

 east of Ruwenzori. They were seen only in the tree-tops. — B. B. W.'] 



Apalis bijtotata Reichenow. 

 Apalis binotata Reich. J. £. O. 1896, p. 41, pi. v. [Cameroon: S']; id. Vog. Afr. iii. p. 608

a. 2 . Mpanga Forest, Fort Portal, 5000 ft., 15th Sept. [No. 3567. R. B. IF.] 



Iris light chestnut ; bill black ; feet light brown. 



As pointed out by Dr. Sharpe, the sexes in this species differ slightly from each 

 other in plumage; the bird described and figured by Dr. Reichenow with a white 

 patch on either side of the throat being the male, Avhile the female has a broad band of 

 white on either side extending from the chin to the base of the throat. 



The present specimen differs slightly from typical female specimens from Cameroon 

 in having the white streak on each side of the throat reduced in width and the bill 

 distinctly shorter (-05 inch as compared with -06). 



Female specimens from Toro in the Jackson Collection are indistinguishable from 

 Cameroon birds. 



[This species of Bush-AVarbler was very plentiful in the Mpanga Forest. — R. B. TV.]

 Iris hazel or light brown ; bill black ; feet brown, light brown, or flesh-coloured. 

 Three males (Nos. 106, 3226, 3237) have the hinder part of the crown mixed with 



olive-coloured feathers like those of the back. This appears to be a sign of immaturity ;
