Vol. xxix.J C4" 



Mr. Arthur Goodson oalled my attention to the striking 

 differences of a series of specimens from Trinidad, which 

 have hitherto, even hy Bangs and Hellmayr^ who have recently 

 studied these birds, been united with C. m. manacus. They 

 differ^ however, from the latter in the males being almost 

 as pure white on the abdomen as C. m. j)urus, while the 

 under tail -coverts are greyish-white ; the black on the back 

 is more extended, only the low^est part of the rump and the 

 upper tail-coverts remaining grey. The bill is larger than 

 in either C. m. manacus or C. m. purus. 



The female has the upperside as in C. m. man icus and 

 C m. purus, but the sides of the body are liardly darker than 

 the abdomen, which is almost uniform pale greenish-yellow, 

 in marked contrast to the throat : the under tail-coverts are 

 yellowish-green. 



Hab. Trinidad. 



Type in the Tring Museum : S • Chaguaramas, Trinidad,

Obs. C. m. purus, with the underside and under tail-coverts 

 white, from Amazonia, and C. m. abditivus, from Santa 

 Marta, Bogota, and N.W. Ecuador, are closely allied forms, 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant exhibited and described examples of 

 a new species of Pytelia from British East Africa and 

 Uganda, which he proposed to call 



Pytelia chubbi, sp. n. 



Pytelia nitidula, Bannerman (nee Hartl.), Ibis, 1910, 

 p. 681, pi. xi. ; E. C. Chubb, Ibis, 1911, p. 771. 



Adult male. Similar to the male of P. nitidula, Hartl., 

 but distinguished by having the breast washed wfith scarlet- 

 orange. Wing 54 mm. 



Adult female. Similar to the female of P. nitidula, but 

 with the orange-buff on the lores, cheeks, and chin extending 

 over the throat and continued in a slightly darker shade over 

 the chest. Wing 53 mm. 



Hab. British East Africa and Uganda, ranging from 

 Mombasa northwards to Marsabit and westwards to 

 Entebbe.
