a-b. Kikuyu Forest, 18th May, 1902. (Nos. 273, 280.) 
Mr. Percival met with this rare Flycatcher in the Kikuyu 
Forest. I have compared his specimens with others from 
Nairobi and Abyssinia in the British Museum, and find them 
similar in every respect. 
The curious point is that the type-specimen of the nearly 
allied, but quite distinct, species C. storeyi Grant [cf. Bull. 
B. O. C. xix. p. 32 (1906)] was procured on the Nairobi 
River at an elevation of 5450 ft., which is close to the 
Kikuyu Forest. C. storeyi is an altogether darker bird and 
has the entire crown sooty black. In the original description 
the locality is given as “ Chedaro,” but this has been proved 
to be the Masai name for the bird.
