Mr. Ogilvie-Grant described examples of the following 

 new species obtained by the Ruwenzori Expedition : — 



CiSTICOLA CARRUTHERSI, Sp. n. 



Adult female. This species is allied to C. lugubris, but 

 may be at once recognised by the following points : — The bill 

 is long and slender (as in the geaus Camaroptera), the outer 

 webs of the primary-quills are brownish (not rufous), and the 

 tail-feathers are black above, tipped with white, and, even 

 on the under surface, the wide subterminal black bands are 

 scarcely distinguishable from the greyer basal portion of the 

 feathers. Iris pale brown ; bill black ; feet pale brown. 



Total length ca. 4'8 inches ; culmen 0*58 ; wing 2*2 ; tail 

 2-0.5 ; tarsus 0-82. 



Hab. Mokia, S.E. Ruwenzori, 3400 feet. 17. vi. 06. 

 The type-specimen, No. 1640, was procured by Mr. Douglas 

 Carruthers. 



Caprimulgus ruwenzorii, sp. n. 



Adult male. Most nearly allied to C. frcenatus, Salvad., 

 but altogether darker, especially on the underparts, the belly 

 and under tail-coverts being, like the breast, entirely barred 

 with black and buff. The white spot on the inner web of the 

 first primary is small, situated on the margin, and does not 

 extend more than halfway across the web; the two outer 

 pairs of tail-feathers have the terminal half white (for about 

 2'4 inches), the brown colour extending up the margin of 

 the outer web almost to the tip; a group of buff spots on 

 the middle of the chest. Iris dark brown ; bill black ; feet 

 brown. 



Total length ca. 9*0 inches ; wing 6'2; tail 4*25; tarsus 

 0-66. 



Hah. Mubuku Valley, E. Ruwenzori, 9000 feet. 3. iii. 06. 

 The type- specimen, No. 183, was procured by Mr. R. E. 

 Dent. 



Mr. P. F. BuNYARD exhibited a nest of the Hedge- 

 Sparrow {Accentor modularis, Linn.) which had been built in 

 a plant of Marguerite growing in a pot in one of the green-
