Mr. S. A. Neave on the Birds of 
No. 629. $ . Upper Kalungwisi R., July 29, 1908. 
Bill coral-red; feet dusky ; iris orange-red. 
I found this recently described species in several places, 
It was always in large flocks, and frequented the reeds and 
long grasses on river-banks in open parts of the country.

This bird seems to replace A . rubriceps west of the 
Mchinga Escarpment. It is, however, much scarcer, and 
always seems to form one of a “ bird-party ” : it is the only 
member of the Ploceidse that I have observed to do so.
