2. Indicator lovati, sp. n. 
Adult female. Resembles 7. minor, Steph., in the colour of 
the upper parts, wings, and tail, but differs from that species 
in having the heavy black moustachial streaks confluent on 
the chin; the throat dull grey, with a slight greenish tinge, 
uniform in colour with the breast ; and the longer flank- 
feathers dark smoky brown, edged with white on the sides. 
From I. conirostris (Cass.), which it approaches in the 
latter characters, it may be at once distinguished by the 
greyish-brown colour of the head and neck and the much 
duller yellow colouring of the back and wing-coverts. Iris 
brown ; bill and legs black. 
Total length about G‘0 inches, culmen 0‘5, wing 3'5, tail 
2‘25, tarsus 0‘5o.

3. LlSSOTlS LOVATI, sp. n. 
Adult male. Most nearly allied to L. melanogaster (Riipp.), 
which it resembles in general appearance, but the middle 
three-fifths of the outer webs of the secondary quills are pure 
white to the shaft. In this respect it approaches L. hartlaubi 
(Heugl.), but the differently-marked plumage of the upper 
parts, as well as the black rump and tail, serve to dis- 
tinguish the latter species at a glance. Iris pale yellowish 
brown ; bill dai k ; legs pale yellowish white. 
Total length about 23’0 inches, culmen 1‘95, wing 13‘8, 
tail 7’6, tarsus 5‘1.
