Mr. Ogilvie-Grant gives his opinion that my Saxicola somalica 

 (P. Z. S. 1895, p. 486) is Saxicola vittata liempr. & Ehr., of which 

 there was no specimen in the Museum when I described the 

 species. I think this is very probable, although the three speci- 

 mens from the Seebohm Collection are black and white, and very 

 different from the type of S. somalica.
