Birds from British East Africa. 
Kilimanjaro. The specimen obtained by Mr. Percival is 
somewhat shorter than those measured by Dr. Reiclienow, 
the total length being about 155 mm. (as against 170 mm.), 
wing 68, tail 68. The bird should probably be placed in a 
distinct genus. It differs from typical examples of Macro- 
sphenus in having a shorter and stouter bill and a longer 
tail. It is a welcome addition to the British Museum, in 
which it was not previously represented.

the species^] 
The type of this species is in the British Museum ; the 
specimen is labelled in Professor NeumaniPs handwriting. 
He was permitted to examine and describe this new species 
in Mr. PercivaPs collection on the understanding that it was 
to be made the type of the species. We observe, however, 
that Professor Neumann states that the type-specimen is in 
the Berlin Museum (cf. Orn. Monatsb. 1903, p. 185), but 
this may be an error ! Chlorocichla percivali is distinguished 
from C. gracilirostris by its brighter green upper parts and 
greyer under parts.
