105 [Vol. XXXV. 



Turdus nigrilorum. — Another rare Thrush, confined to 

 the Cameroon Highlands and closely allied to the 

 Senegambian Thrush. 



Cinnyris oritis. — A beautiful Sunbird, confined to the 

 Cameroon Mountain, which Alexander notes is a rare 

 species, found only in the forest. 



Campothera tullbergi. — A very rare Woodpecker, dis- 

 covered by S josted in the high forests ; the two examples 

 obtained by Alexander are the first to reach England. 



Barhatula coryphcBa. — A peculiar Barbet, discovered by 

 Dr. Preuss. Also new to the National Collection. 



Alseonax murinus obscurus. — A form of Flycatcher, known 

 only from Cameroon Mountain. It is closely allied to the 

 typical East African species. 



Saxicola salax paltidigula. — A very fine Chat, inhabiting 

 Cameroon Mountain and the Manenguba Mountains. The 

 Manenguba Range lies about 80 miles north-east of the 

 Cameroon Mountain, with which it is connected by a 

 forested ridge, 4000 feet in height, and which probably 

 accounts for this Chat, Linurgus olivaceus, and Cinnyris 

 preussi, which were hitherto believed to be confined to 

 Cameroon Mountain, being found in the Manenguba 

 Mountains also. 



There are many rare species in the collection, some of 

 which have already been exhibited here and described in the 

 * Bulletin,' and there is another which I have to describe now. 



This is a Puff-backed Shrike, which is intermediate 

 between Dryoscopus angolensis and D. a. nandensis, and 

 which I propose to name 



Dryoscopus angolensis cameroonensis, subsp. n. 



Adult male. Differs from D. angolensis in having the blue 

 of the head and nape extending on to the mantle, as in D. a. 

 nandensis, and in not being cut off sharply from the mantle 

 as in Z>. angolensis. The blue colour of the head and nape 

 is not so intense in colour. The size is about the same.
