Edoliisoma utakwensis, sp. n. 



Adult (marked female, but almost certainly a male). 

 Nearest to E. poliopse Sharpe, but larger and with the lores 

 and feathers in front of the eye, as well as the chin and 

 upper throat, black j remainder of the upper and under 

 surface light grey with rather distinct dark shafts to the 

 feathers ; wings and tail entirely black, under tail-coverts 

 bordered or mottled submarginally with chestnut; under 

 surface of the wings uniform light grey. Total length 

 250 mm.; culmen 20 ; wing 133 ; tail 100; tarsus 29. 



Hab. Utakwa River. 



Type in the British Museum : $ [? S ] • Camp No. 9, 

 5500 ft., 30. i. 13. 



Obs. In some respects the present species reminds one of 

 the larger E. anale Verr., from New Caledonia, which has 

 the entire under tail-coverts rufous. 



Anthus wollastoni, sp. n. 



Adult male. Most nearly allied to A. gutturalis De Vis, 

 from British New Guinea, but easily distinguished by its 

 finer bill and by lacking the blackish bands on the sides of 

 the neck. The lores and superciliary stripes are pale rufous- 

 buff like the chin, throat, and underparts, the chest and 

 breast as well as the flanks darker, and the feathers of the 

 former with a few blackish shaft-streaks. The outermost 

 pair of tail-feathers have the outer web and an oblique portion 

 of the inner web pale buff, the penultimate pair have a 

 terminal wedge of the same colour, but with a more smoky 

 tinge. Long hair-like axillary plumes pale whitish-buff. 

 Total length ca. 175 mm. ; wing 97 ; tail 77 ; tarsus 28.
