under the eye is very faint; the round drop-like whitish spots 
of the notseum are not very large and distinctly flavescent, 
especially the spots and bars of the tail; the black guttural 
shield does not extend over the throat. 
Two specimens. Pare (Masai), Sept. 3 : Dr. Fischer. Mas 
jun. Long. tot. 75 mill. Iris dark red; beak horn-colour. 
Very much like the bird from Barawa, but on the pale 
sulphur-yellow of the abdomen we see short bar-like darker 
marks formed by the apical margins of the feathers ; the 
white spots and bars of the tail are distinctly yellowish; the 
sides of the head and throat shaded with reddish; over the 
eyes some reddish feathers like little flames; the guttural 
shield is indicated by an irregular black spot; spots and 
bars of the tail very regular and circumscribed. 
Three specimens. Adult male. Mrumi (Ugogo) : R . 
Bohm , Sept. 1. Long. tot. 19 mill., al. 80 mill., culm. 19 
mill., caud. 80 mill. 
In this interesting specimen there are some more impor¬ 
tant differences from the Barawa bird. The marginal spots 
of the tail-feathers are small and of a dirty white with an 
almost imperceptible yellowish shade; the dark bars of the 
underside of the tail are broader, less defined and shaded 
into grey towards their upper margin; abdomen of a dirty 
yellowish white without any spots or bars; the large black 
guttural shield extends upwards to the chin ; the white spots 
of the wing-coverts and scapulars are shorty broad, and bar-like, 
those of the interscapulium are smaller, more rounded and 
drop-like. 
Perhaps this Ugogo bird ought to be separated as a con¬ 
stant variety or race. 
Tr. boehmi is nearly allied to Tr. arnaudi, but differs 
from it:—1, by the crown of the head being of a uniform 
glossy black, whereas in Tr. arnaudi its feathers are provided 
with black tips, leaving only an irregular and more or less 
invisible black spot in the middle of the crown; 2, the black- 
tipped feathers of the sides of the head are sulphur-yellow, 
they being of a reddish orange in Tr. arnaudi ; 3, by the 
large and circumscribed guttural steel-black scutellum, of
