These examples are all typically coloured. C. griseiviridis (Müll.) 
having nearly the whole underpart white without any greysh shade. These 
birds conspicuously differ from the Abessinian specimens, which Count 
Zedlitz described as C. abessinica (Journ. f. Orn. 1911 p. 38), which 
again resembles C . griseigula Sharpe from East-Africa. 
The geographical distribution extend of the true C. griseiviridis (Müll.) 
according to Zedlitz from Northern Erythrea to the White-Nile. 
Muller’s type originated from Cordofan, therefore this species is distri¬ 
buted westward also from the White-Nile. The eastern limit of the distri¬ 
bution of these birds seems to be the range of the Abessinian mountains, 
whilst the southern line of distribution extends at least untili Lado, where¬ 
from we possess one specimen from the collection of Emin Pasha, which 
entirely agrees with specimens from Sudan above enumerated. 
I had opportunity to observe this bird during our way on the Dinder 
and Blue-Nile, where it was abundant. I shot many examples which were 
all similar coloured. They were everywhere to be seen in the bushes. Round 
our camp they occured with their intimate habits catching insects on the 
lowest branches of the trees or on the ground and approached to two-three 
steps jumping always with an erected tail near me without any anxiety. 
The movements of these birds reminds one much of those of our Wren.
