on the other side the new feathers are half-grown and the outer pairs are tipped 

 with black. 



[A few examples of the Honey-Guide Bulbul were seen in the Congo Forest near 

 Irumu and also in the Mpanga Forest east of Euwenzori, but they were not common. 

 The specimens obtained were frequenting the tops of the very tall trees, and, if that is 

 their usual habit, it would account for so few specimens being obtained, as our collecting- 

 guns would not kill them at that height. — R. S. W.'\

Iris, bill, and feet dark brown. 



This species and the larger paler A. zomhensis Shelley, from Nyasaland, may be 

 distinguished from the allied forms, A. gracilis and A. cui'virostris, by the shorter 

 broader bill ; the throat too is yellow, like the middle of the breast. 



[The Small Green Bulbul was very plentiful in the Congo Forest, but was not seen 

 on the mountains. — It. B. W.~\

I am a little doubtful about the identification of specimen c. It has the general 

 colour of the breast brownish-grey with scarcely a trace of yellow, and the sides and 

 flanks Avarm olive-brown, while the middle of the breast and belly are white tinged 

 with yellow. In the adult of A. gracilis these parts are pale rather bright yellow, and 

 the breast, sides, and flanks are washed with the same colour. 



I have already at some length drawn attention to the differences between this species 

 and A. curvirostris Cassin [cf. ' Ibis,' 1908, p. 303]. 



There are examples of this species in Mr. Jackson's collection from Entebbe and 

 Kitunzi, Uganda. 



[The Slender Green Bulbul was plentiful in the Congo Forest. We did not obtain 

 any examples of this species in the Mpanga Forest to the east of Euwenzori, but it is 

 very likely to be found there. It has a low and very sweet song. — R. B. W.']
