Dr. Ernst Hartekt sent the description o£ a new Shrike, 

 as follows : — 



Chlorophoneus nigrifrons conceptus, subsp. nov. 



Generally like C. n. nigrifrons, but differs as follows : — 

 The grey of the head and upper back slightly paler ; tips of 

 inner primaries and secondaries yellow ; yellow tips to 

 rectrices wider and also present on the middle pair. Male 

 with black frontal and stripe through ear-coverts to sides of 

 neck, as in both sexes of C. nigrifrons, but females without 

 these black parts, c^ , wing 100 ; ? , 93-94 mm. 



Hab. Forest ; about 2000 m. high ; west of Lake Tan- 

 ganyika. E,ud. Grauer coll., 1908. 



Type in Tring Museum. 



I take this opportunity to describe the hitherto unknown 

 adult male of Chlorophoneus elgeyuensis van Som., which was 

 described from females (Bull. B. 0. C xl. p. 23, 1919) : — 

 The black forehead is wider and extends over the ear-coverts 

 to the sides of the neck ; the throat and breast are bright 

 scarlet, the lower abdomen yellow ; the rectrices have much 

 narrower yellow tips, and no yellow inner edges. Wings 

 88-92 mm. The late Noel van Soraeren, who was killed by 

 a buffalo, sent us five males and two females from Mt. Kenya 

 (above Chuka and Meru). 



Dr. Ernst Hartert and Dr. van Someren sent the fol- 

 lowing description of a new form of Flycatcher : — 



Diaphorophyia graueri silvsB, subsp. nov. 



Ad. male. Like D. g. graueri, but upperside of a different 

 colour, i. e. light olive-green with a grey wash on the nape, 

 not greyish bottle-green as in D. g. graueri ; quills edged 

 outside with dull yellowish green. Wing 63*5 mm. Bill 

 black. Wattle round eyes " green-yellow." 



One specimen, Silwa, Kaimosi, collected by Dr. van Some- 

 ren's native collector. 



Though only one specimen, it seems reasonable to suppose 

 that the slight differences mean that it belongs to a different 

 subspecies. D. g. graueri was collected in primaeval forest
