where he figured a bird with the hill of an ordinary Gallirex; 

 hut it must be said that the typical specimen, collected by 

 Sir Harry Johnston, was a female, and thus the characters 

 of the bill were not so prominent as in the adult males. 

 This was doubtless the reason also that led Dr. Sharpe to 

 place the bird in the genus Gallireoc. The fine series collected 

 by Mr. F. J. Jackson had enabled Mr. Neumann to dis- 

 cover the characters of the genus. It was likewise interesting 

 to find the colouring of Ruwenzorornis johnstoni in every 

 respect intermediate between Musophaga rossce and Gallirex 

 yorphyreolophus. 



Mr. Neumann also exhibited specimens of the following 

 new subspecies of African birds : — 



Crateropus smithi lacuum, n. subsp. 



Similar to Crateropus smithi smithi, but differing in 

 wanting the white eyebrow, and in having the chin and upper 

 throat, as well as the lores, dark ashy grey, instead of white. 

 The rump and abdominal region not so pure white as in 

 typical C. smithi. 



Hab. The Lake Valley south of Shoa, from Lake Zua'i to 

 Lake Gandjule, and the mountain-slopes east of that valley. 



Type. Alelu, north of Lake Abassi, Dec. 9, 1900 (coll. 

 0. Neumann). 



Crateropus smithi omoensis, n. subsp. 



Similar to the foregoing, but having the grey of the lores, 

 chin, and upper throat replaced by black. Rump and 

 abdominal region still darker and of a pale buff tint. 



Hab. The countries of the Omo System— Uba, Gofa, 

 Doko, Malo, and Kaffa, and also the head- waters of the 

 Gelo River (Binescho and Schecho). 



Type $ ad., Senti River (southern affluent to the Omo), 

 between Uba and Gofa, 30.i.l901 (coll. 0. Neumann). 



Lybius undatus gardullensis, n. subsp. 



Similar to Lybius undatus undatus, but the black bars on 

 the under surface of the body narrower and less distinct, 

 the abdomen strongly washed with sulphur-yellow, while in
