Dr. Ernst Hartert exhibited a new African bird, which 

 he described as follows : — 



Apalis ansorgei, n. sp. 



£ ad. Forehead for about 5 mm. and wide superciliary 

 band yellowish-buff, rest of pileum greyish, washed with 

 brownish-yellow. Line through the lores, encircling the 

 eye, and continued in a wide band under the eye to the 

 upper auricular region, black. Rest of the upperparts grey 

 with a faint brownish-buff tinge. Quills dark greyish- 

 brown, outer webs with narrow pale yellow edges; inner 

 secondaries paler, more greyish, and with wider and browner 

 outer edges. Rectrices brownish-grey, edged with pale 

 yellow. Entire throat bright yellow, separated by a black 

 crescent from the breast, which, like the entire abdomen, is 

 white with a faint yellowish tinge. Under tail- and under 

 wing-coverts white, bend of the wing yellow. "Iris dark 

 brown, feet greenish-brown, toes burnt-sienna, bill black." 

 V/ing about 61, tail about 47, metatarsus 20, culmen 13 mm. 



Hab. Angola. 



A single male, in moult, with somewhat worn wings, was 

 obtained at Caiala, Bihe, Angola, on December 4th, 1904, by 

 Dr. W. J. Ansorge. Type no. 4124 in the Tring Museum. 



If the genus Euprinodes is separated from Apalis, then 

 A. ansorgei must be placed in the former section.
