collected Natural History specimens for Mr. Johnston, at an elevation of G000 feet, on 

 the Milanji Plateau, on the 29th of October, 1891. 



The British Museum has received in exchange from the Berlin Museum one of the 

 typical specimens of H. emini from Bussisi, and we at once saw that JET. astigma is 

 identical with it. Its nearest ally is certainly S. melanocrissa rather than H. semirufa, 

 and it differs from the former species in its darker cinnamon-coloured under surface, 

 while it is further distinguished by its more dusky ear-coverts and by the rufous 

 collar on the hind neck not being complete, as appears to be sometimes the case in 

 H. melanocrissa. 



The description is taken from the Bussisi specimen, now in the British Museum, 

 and the figure in the Plate is drawn from the typical specimen of H. astigma, also in the 

 same Museum. 



Por the geographical distribution of this species, vide infra, Plate 79 [Map].
