A young male (No. 277) is in much the same stage of plumage as the bird described 

 from Mr. Carruthers' collection in my paper quoted above. The female (No. 1751), 

 one of the pair shot on the 23rd of July, is in very worn plumage, the grey feathers 

 on the upperparts inclining to sandy-brown. 



[A few examples of Hartlaub's Tit- Warbler were seen on the plains at the south- 

 east end of Ruwenzori, and in the open clearings in the Eturi Forest, also near Fort 

 Portal, but they were everywhere rather scarce. — B. B. W.]

The only difference between this species and G. similis Richmond [cf. 'Auk,' xiv. 

 p. 163 (1897)], which was obtained on Kilimanjaro at an altitude of 10,000 ft., appears 

 to be one of size, the wing-measurement being somewhat smaller, 2-15 inches. I may 

 here remark that Dr. Reichenow seems to have omitted all reference to C. similis {cf. 

 Vog. Afr. ii. p. 464), while Mr. Oberholser has identified it with C. kenya [cf. Pr. U.S. 

 Nat. Mus. xxviii. p. 912 (1905)]. I doubt the correctness of this identification for the
