(Fischer 6: Reichen. J. f. O. 1880, p. 144), and Sir John Kirk has sent it from Ugogo (Shelley, 
Р. 7. S. 1881, p. 574). Specimens from Mamboio are also in the Shelley Collection. It will be 
likewise this form which Dr. Stuhlmann procured at Matamondo in Unguru in September, and at 
Mbusini in Useguha іп August (Reichen. J. f. O. 1889, p. 286), and Fischer has also recorded it 
from Mandera, Useguhua, and Maurui (J. f. O. 1885, p. 141). 
Т. tropicalis is so closely allied to T. libonyanus as to be separated with difficulty. It seems, 
however, to be a lighter bird, especially on the fore-neck and chest, which are very pale ashy-brown, 
pervaded with the orange colour of the sides of the breast. Total length 8:5 inches, culmen 0:8, 
wing 4:15, tail 8:25, tarsus 1:2. 
A bird obtained by Dr. Bradshaw on the Zambesi is apparently in winter plumage, and is 
browner on the upper surface than any specimen of 7. libonyanus examined by me. Total length 
9 inches, wing 4:8. 
Dr. Stuhlmann gives the soft parts as follows :—* Bill vermilion-red ; feet dark reddish-yellow ; 
iris greyish-brown ; eyelid vermilion-red ” (cf. Reichen. J. f. O. 1889, p. 286). 
Тһе specimen described is from Tete, and the hinder figure of T. libonyanus in the Plate seems 
to have been taken from a specimen of 7. tropicalis: but I have not been able to find any indication 
of the bird which Mr. Seebohm figured ; it was doubtless in his own Collection. [R. B. S.]
