A very rare species. Excepting that the bill is a little stouter, this bird may be 
considered a typical Bradyornis. Dr. Riippell’s Curruca chocolatina (Syst. Uebers. t. 14) 
is, as proved by a careful comparison of the type in the Senckenbergian Museum, 
the same species as his Muscicapa chocolatina. The measurements are given in the 
following list :—

The only species of Bradyornis, besides the above-mentioned Br. chocalatinus, are 
Br. mariquensis, Sm., of South and West Africa, Br. pallida, Mill. (Musciapa pallida, 
Mill. Beitr. t. viii.), and Br. pammelena, Stanl. (Sylvia pammelena, Stanl. in Salt’s

eastern and North-eastern Africa.—0. F.
