Mr. W. L. ScLATER exhibited and described examples of 

 a new subspecies of Shrike from Angola^ which he proposed 

 to call 



Dryoscopus bocagei ansorgei, subsp. n. 



Adult male. Closely resembles D, bocagei, Reich. j the type 

 form, but differs in having the black of the crown and nape 

 sharply defined from the slate-coloured mantle and back ; 

 the slate-colour of the back is also slightly darker and has 

 an olivaceous tinge, entirely absent from the Cameroon 

 bird; the puff-feathers of the rump are of the same colour 

 as the back and have paler tips, but not white as in D. b. 

 jachsoni; the wash on the breast varies somewhat in intensity, 

 but is cinYiamon rather than ochraceous. Iris dark brown ; 

 bill black ; feet slate-blue. Length 165 mm. ; culmen 14 ; 

 wing 79 ; tail 73 ; tarsus 23. 



Adult female. Indistinguishable from the male, but the 

 tail is, as a rule, very dark slate-colour and not black. One 

 example shows traces of irregular narrow dusky bands across 

 the breast and flanks and is probably immature. 



Hab. North Angola. 



Type in the British Museum: S- No. 302. N'Dalla 

 Tando, 5. viii. 08. W. J. Ansorge coll. 



Obs. In addition to the type Dr. Ansorge collected five 

 males and five females, all at N^Daila Tando, between the 

 2nd of August and the 23rd of December, 1908. 



Mr. D. A. Bannerman described examples of three new 

 birds from South-western Abyssinia, collected by P. Zaphiro 

 and presented to the Natural History Museum by Mr. W. 

 N. McMillan :— 



Anomalospiza macmillani, sp. n. 



Adidt male. Differs from the male of A. imberbis, Cab., in 

 having the general colour of the plumage duller ; the crown 

 of a more orange-yellow and the back much less strongly 

 streaked with black ; the chest, breast, sides, and flanks are 

 washed with olive, giving these parts a more dusky appear- 

 ance, and the latter have dark shafts only, the colour not
