Common about Mayen in the pass below Senafd, and 

 at Senafd, Halai, and otber places on the bigblands. It 

 differs from P. Bonelli, Vieill. (*S. Nattereri, Temm.), 

 which it otherwise much resembles, in being pale buff 

 instead silky white below and less brown above. From 

 P. trochilus it is distinguished by being more green above 

 and less yellow below. It is very close to the Indian 

 P. affinis. It may easily be recognised by its isabeUine 

 coloured breast. 



The first short primary is above an inch (in one 

 specimen I'l in.) shorter than the second,, which is 

 nearly ^ in. shorter than the third. The third and 

 fourth are the same length, the fifth very little shorter. 



I obtained several specimens of this little Wren- 

 warbler at Undul Wells and Senaffi. I believe it occurs 

 throughout the highlands. I did not meet with it in the 

 Anseba valley. 



159. P. umbrovirens (Eiipp.). 



Ficedula umbrovirens, Eiipp. Neu. Wirb. p. 112 ; et Syst. Uebers.

Only a single specimen was obtained ; this was shot at 

 Senafd The wing measures 2"25 in., tail V7, tarsus 0'85. 

 The length of the tail somewhat exceeds that given by 

 Riippell.
