Mr. W. R. Ogilvie Grant on Birds 
Dr. Sharpe now proposes to call the East-African bird 
Parisoma jachsoni [see Bull. B. O, C. vol. x. p. xxviii 
(1899)]. 
Sylvia blanfordi Seebohm is closely allied to this species, 
and should be transferred to the genus Parisoma , the 
long, well-developed; first primary-quill distinguishing it 
from the genus Sylvia. 
This species is new to the British Museum Collection. 
[Though plentiful locally about Gitemma and Bilo, in 
Upper Lika; this Warbler did not appear to have a wide 
range. It has a pleasant note; and altogether has a rather 
superficial resemblance to a “ pocket edition 33 of the 
Bulbul—L.]
