STORMS'S THRUSH. 
Turdus stormsi, Hartl. Bull. Mus. Belg. iv. p. 148, pl. iii. (1886). 
T. similis T. bocagii, sed subtüs magis aurantiaco-rufescens, et subcaudalibus quoque aurantiacis, abdomine

concoloribus distinguendus. 
Dr. HartLauB described this species from a specimen sent by Captain Storms from the neighbourhood 
of Lake Tanganyika. Dr. Reichenow believes that it is the young of T. bocagii, and that the type 
specimen is immature is evident from the orange-buff spots at the end of the wing-coverts. There 
is no species, however, of the 7. Пбопуапиз group which has the under tail-coverts orange-coloured, 
as is shown in Dr. Dubois” picture of the type of T. sformsi (2. c.), or in Mr. Keulemans' figure 
which accompanies this article. It may be, therefore, that T. stormsi wil prove to be a richly- 
coloured forest race of T. bocagii, and as such I have kept it distinct. 
The figure has been drawn by Mr. Keulemans from the type in the Brussels Museum.
