 1*6, tarsus 06. 



Hab. Konduro, Abyssinia, 25th March, 1899. 



2. Indicator lovati, sp. n. 



Adult female. Resembles /. minor, Steph., in the colour of 

 the upper parts, wings, and tail, but differs from that species 

 in having the heavy black moustachial streaks confluent on 

 the chin; the throat dull grey, with a slight greenish tinge, 

 uniform in colour with the breast ; and the longer flank- 

 feathers dark smoky brown, edged with white on the sides. 



From /. conirostris (Cass.), which it approaches in the 

 latter characters, it may be at once distinguished by the 

 greyish-brown colour of the head and neck and the much 

 duller yellow colouring of the back and wing-coverts. Iris 

 brown ; bill and legs black. 



Total length about 60 inches, culmen 0'5, wing 3'5, tail 

 2-25, tarsus 0'55. 



Hab. Gelongol, Abyssinia, 13th March, 1899. 



3. Lissotis lovati, sp. n. 



Adult male. Most nearly allied to L. melanogaster (Rupp.), 

 which it resembles in general appearance, but the middle 

 three-fifths of the outer webs of the secondary quills are pure 

 white to the shaft. In this respect it approaches L. hartlaubi 

 (Heugl.)', but the differently-marked plumage of the upper 

 parts, as well as the black rump and tail, serve to dis- 

 tinguish the latter species at a glance. Iris pale yellowish 

 brown ; bill dark ; legs pale yellowish white. 



Total length about 23"0 inches, jculmen 1 # 95, wing 13'8 3 

 tail 7'6, tarsus 5*1. 



Hab. Bilo, Abyssinia, 10th March, 1899. 



Mr. Ernst Hartert exhibited two hybrids of Humming- 

 birds. One, obtained in Ecuador by Mr. Simons, com- 

 bined in a striking way the shape and colours of Eugenia 

 imperatrix and Heliodoxa jacula jamesoni, both found in that 

 country ; another, obtained by Mr. O. T. Baron in California, 

 was intermediate between Calypte costce and Stellula calliope.
