Type adult male : August 1906 ; procured, by Mr. Walter 

 Goodfellow. 



Obs. " I am quite at a loss to understand the measure- 

 ments of C. lyogyrus as given in millimetres by Mr. Currie : 

 the length of the culmen is said to be 42 mm., the wing 

 200 mm., and the middle pair of tail-feathers 330 mm. ; 

 while the other measurements are all proportionately greater, 

 indicating a bird twice as large as C. regiusP 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant also exhibited and described examples 

 of five new species of birds from the Congo Forest, procured 

 by Messrs. E,. B. Woosnam and R. E. Dent, of the 

 " E-uvveuzori Expedition '' : — 



Phyllanthus czarnikowi, sp. n. 



Adult male. Most near P. bohndorffi, (Sharpe), but differing 

 in having the forehead, fore part of the face, and chin black ; 

 the feathers of the crown blackish with grey margins ; and 

 the chestnut of the upper- and underparts darker. Iris 

 claret-colour ; bill pale yellow ; feet pale greenish-grey. In 

 the type of P. bohndorffi, which is no doubt an immature 

 bird, the legs and feet are white (in the dry skin). 



Total length ca. 8*5 inches ; culmen 105 ; wing 4*6 ; 

 tail 3-2; tarsus 1*45. 



Hab. Mawambi, Eastern Congo Forest, 3000 feet : 18th 

 Oct., 1906. 



The type, a fully adult male, was obtained by Mr. R. B. 

 Woosnam. 



The species is named in honour of Mr. C. Czarnikow, one 

 of the subscribers to the Expedition. 



TrOCHOCERCUS BEDFORDI, Sp. n. 



Adult male and female. Most nearly allied to T. nitens, 

 Cass., but larger ; the general colour of the plumage of a
