370 ZOOLOGICAL RESULTS OF THE EUWEJN'ZORI EXPEDITION. 



appears to be an adult male, but the sex is not indicated. There are three adult 

 female specimens from Toro in the Jackson Collection which agree perfectly with the 

 adult female from Mpanga, and all differ slightly from the type in having rather more 

 white on the middle of the breast — a difference which is probably due to sex, or may be 

 individual. 



This species is easily distinguished from C. ct/ornithopsis Sharpe, from Cameroon, by 

 its rust-red flanks and under tail-coverts. 



[A few of these little birds were found in the Mpanga Forest, where they appeared 

 to inhabit the undergrowth only. — B. B. W.']

This species was first described from a male procured by Mr. Geoffrey K rcher. The 

 female does not difi'er in plumage from the male, but is slightly sin. Her — wing 2"75-2'9 

 inches. 



[Archer's Robin-Chat was found on Ruwenzori from 6000 ft. up to 13,000 ft. It 

 was one of the few birds that were fairly numerous in the bamboo-zone. It has a 

 curious melancholy piping note, like a cart-wheel which wants oil and creaks each time 

 it comes round to a certain spot. It frequents the undergrowth only and is never seen 

 up in the trees. — B. B. W^^
