N,E. Africa. It follows, llierefore^ that the bird from Niam- 
Niam is not P. halius, but requires a new name, which I 
propose shall be Dendromus hargitti. At the same time 
Professor Reichenow makes some important identifications 
respecting Chrysopicus caillaudi of Malherbe. This he con- 
siders to be identical with D. mallierhii, and therefore he 
proposes the name o£ Dendromus scriptoricauda for the bird 
which Hargitt identified as D. caillaudi. 
We have not_, apparently, in the Museum a specimen of 
Dendromus nyansa of Neumann (J. f. O. 1900^ p. 204) from 
Muausa, but the Museum contains three examples of D.fUlle- 
borni Neum. from Nyasaland : these have been identified by 
Captain Shelley as D. malherbii, but they really belong to the 
distinct form recently separated by Mr. Oscar Neumann. —
