30 Mr. G. L. Bates— Field-Notes on the 
1016 a. Alseonax epulatus fantisiensis. [Kula, or 
Okulebe.] 
Alseonax fantesiensis Sharpe, Ibis, 1907, p. 445. 
No. 2330. rj. Bitye, It. Ja, March 11, 1907. Testes 
large. Feet dark ; mandible dark-tipped. 
This specimen is recorded here because it was brought to 
me along with its nest, in which were two very young birds. 
These the boy said were being fed when he shot the parent 
with his bow and arrow. The nest was peculiar in that it 
was large and bulky for so small a bird, though the inside 
was a small cup lined with fine fibres, very much like the 
nests of Tchitrea and other common Flycatchers. But the 
outside part was a mass of dried moss, leaves, tiny sticks, 
and lichens, loosely piled, but held together by cobwebs 
running through it. The nestlings were naked except for 
some tufts of long brown down. 
Dr. Sharpe is certainly right in saying that this form is 
distinct from Alseonax epulatus, with its yellow feet and 
mandible, though they are both found at the Ja, as well as 
about Efulen. 
1024 a . PcEDILORHYNCHUS STUHLMANNI CAMERUNENSIS. 
[Kula.] 
Sharpe, Ibis, 1907, p. 447. 
In my note in ‘ The Ibis 9 (/. c.) I spoke of the eggs of this 
bird found in old Weavers’ nests. I have to record two 
eggs again found in the old nest of Heterhyphantes nigricollis, 
which had been supplied with a new lining of dry grass- 
blades or shreds of palm-leaf. These eggs measured the 
same as the former, 20*5 x 13 mm. I am glad to be able to 
give Mr. Grant’s description, as my statement of the colour 
of the eggs in the former note may have been wide of the 
mark. 
[Four eggs are of a long, slightly pointed oval form and 
moderately glossy; three examples are uniform light olive- 
brown, but the fourth is densely and indistinctly marked 
all over, especially at the broader, end, with yellowish- 
brown.—O.-G.]
