 perhaps be best to unite them. 



Dr. Hartert called attention to an error in the descrip- 

 tion of Euprinodes nigrescens, Jackson (Bull. B. O. C. xvi. 

 no. cxxv. p. 90). In the description the three outer rectrices 

 were described as white, while, in fact, the four outer 

 rectrices were white. The Tring Museum had received an 

 adult female from the Mpauga Forest, obtained by .Rudolf 

 Grauer. 



Dr. Hartert also described and exhibited examples of 

 the following new African birds : —
