 paler and less brownish than in either T. fulvescens or 

 T. reichenowi.

Obs. It may be pointed out that the bird referred to 

 above as T. fulvescens is the species which, until Bates drew 

 attention to it (' Ibis/ 1907), was known as T. cerviniventris. 

 These birds have long tails. The pale-breasted bird, which 

 has been erroneously recognised as T. fulvescens, must 

 now be called T. rufipennls of Sharpe, the type of which is 

 in the British Museum. I am convinced that the Uganda 

 birds, which are very similar to T. rvfipcnnis, are really 

 quite distinct, and that T. baraka Jackson should be recog- 

 nised as a subspecies.

Obs. A dozen specimens were collected ; all show the

 collected by the Ruwenzori Expedition were referred to 

 M.f. flavicans.
