Birds of Southern Kamerun. 
which the notes “ have a clear, ringing tone that is pleasing/’ 
as I said previously (‘ The Ibis/ 1905, p. 97) without knowing 
the species certainly. 
Besides the nest with eggs already reported ( f The Ibis/ 
1907, p. 462), another has been found. This was on a 
yam-vine in an old garden. There were two eggs in it, 
which measured 21*5 X 15 mm. and 22 x 15 mm. 
[Two eggs of a nearly perfect oval shape ; the ground-colour 
is pinkish-white, marked all over with rather obscure longi¬ 
tudinal reddish-brown markings and densely freckled and 
indistinctly clouded with obscure purplish-grey markings.—

Anoropadus efulensis. [Otok.] 
Sharpe, Ibis, 1907, p. 461. 
No. 2802. $ ; abdomen, ovary, &c. indicating a sitting 
bird. Shot on the nest. 
The “ Otok 33 with the yellow moustachial streaks is some¬ 
times called “Otok afan/’ that is, “forest Otok/’ because it 
is more inclined than the other species to the forest ; but it 
is not strictly a forest-bird. Its notes, which it utters with 
great persistency while hidden in a thicket, are not musical, 
and deserve the name of noise or racket rather than of song. 
The yellow streaks down the sides of the throat, as is the 
case with all such markings in birds, are more conspicuous 
in life than in the skin. This species spreads out the 
plumage of the chin and throat, giving the fullest effect to 
the yellow feathers. 
The nest (on which No. 2802 was shot) was a rough oblong 
cup of dried leaves and weed-stems, with fine horsehair-like 
vegetable fibre for lining, about 65 and 45 mm. on the 
inside diameters. Two eggs were in it, which measured 
23*5 x 16 mm. and 24 x 16*5 mm. 
[Two eggs are of a slightly pointed oval shape and slightly 
glossy; the ground-colour is white, rather sparingly spotted 
all over with purplish-brown and grey and with some larger 
blotches of paler and darker grey round the large end.— 
O.-G.]
