Obs. This new species of Bradyornis inhabits South- 

 western Abyssinia to the south of the Didessa River, and 

 ranges through Kaffa and Goffa southwards to Lake Rudolph. 

 A fine series, collected by Mr. P. Zaphiro, has been sent to 

 the British Museum by Mr. W. N. McMillan. Attention 

 had already been called to this bird as long ago as 1904 by 

 Mr. Ogilvie-Grant, who had received two examples from the 

 Baro River, procured by the same collector. In his paper 

 on that collection he had given a short description of 

 them, but until additional material should come to hand 

 did not feel justified in adding another name to this difficult 

 group. I have now examined fourteen additional examples 

 in all stages of plumage, and have no doubt that they 

 represent a distinct species. 



The species is named in honour of Mr. Ogilvie-Grant, who 

 first drew attention to its distinctive characters. 



Mr, G. L. Bates exhibited and described two new species 

 of birds from Cameroon : —

 surface of the wings dark umber-brown ; feathers of the nape

 short superciliary stripe white. Quills blackish, with 

 umber-brown bars extending across both webs and becom- 

 ing whitish-buff towards the margins of the inner webs ; the 

 outermost primary shorter than any of the others. Tail- 

 feathers dark brownish-black, the middle pair with three and 

 the outer pairs with five large, rounded, white spots on the 

 inner web only. Throat, middle of the chest, and under tail-
