322 DR. O. FINSCH ON BIRDS FROM NORTH-EASTERN 
DRyYMOICA PULCHELLA (Riipp.), p. 374. no. 150. 
DryYMOICA LEVAILLANTI, Smith. Graminicola levaillanti, Blanf. p. 375. no.152. Dry- 
moica cantans, Heugl. Ibis, 1869, p. 96. 
I am not quite sure whether D. levaillanti and D. cantans are really identical, finding 
that specimens of the former species from South Africa vary considerably in size and 
colour. 
Drymoica Rosusta, Riipp. Graminicola robusta, Blanf. p. 375. no. 153. 
“A single specimen at Adigrat.” 
EREMOMELA GRISEOFLAVA, Heugl. p. 355. no. 116, t. 3. f. 1 (opt.). 
In the Anseba valley. 
PHYLLOSCOPUS ABYSSINICUS, Blanf., nov. spec., p. 378. no. 158, t. 3. f. 2. 
Most nearly allied to Ph. trochilus (L.), but a different species, which I had the plea- 
sure of seeing when Mr. Blanford visited our Museum. Discovered about Mayen, in 
the pass below Senafé, and at Senafé, Halai, and other places on the highlands. 
A specimen from the plateau of Wogara, which Von Heuglin (Orn. N. O. Afr. p. 299) 
mentions sub nom. Ph. rufa, belongs to the true Ph. trochilus, as I convinced myself on 
examining it. 
Hypotals taneuipa, H. & Ehrb., p. 379. no. 162. 
“In the Lebka valley and Samhar.” 
Whether this species is really separable from H. olivetorum, Strickl., I am unable to 
say, not having had before me a series large enough, the only way to settle the ques- 
tion. The specimen collected by Mr. Jesse I determined to belong to H. olivetorum, 
finding no important difference between it and a specimen from Greece. I must remark 
that the length of the primaries is by no means constant, but differs in individuals. 
SYLVIA MELANOCEPHALA, Gml., p. 379. no. 160. 
‘A single specimen near Rairo.” 
SAXICOLA FRENATA, Heugl., p. 862. no, 132; Finsch & Hartl. Vogel Ostafr. p. 258 (note). 
“On the Wadela plateau, near Saintora, and Gazoo, at an elevation of 10,500 feet.” 
Dr. Riippell erroneously considered this species to be the male of 8S. dsabellina. 
Other specimens in the Senckenbergian Museum were labelled 8. albigularis, a name 
never published by Riippell.
