756 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
Coliidae 
Colius striatus kiwuensis Reichenow 
Colius kiwuensis Reichenow, Orn. Monatsb., 1908, p. 191: Lake Kivu. 
Two males, Kamaniola, 31 January 1927. 
Adult female, immature female, Lulenga, 5 March 1927. 
The immature bird has the lower mandible wholly black. The wing coverts 
are tipped with sandy rufous and the feathers of the back are broadly tipped 
with light tawny. 
The males are somewhat browner above, and especially on the rectrices, than 
the adult female. 
Capitonidae 
Pogoniulus scolopaceus flavisquamatus (Verreaux) 
Barbatula flavisquamata J. and E. Verreaux, Journ. f. Orn., 1855, p. 101: Cape Lopez, Gaboon. 
Male, Efandu, 5 January 1927. 
This specimen agrees with the characters of this race. It has a short, stout 
bill (stouter than either scolopaceus or aloysti) and is more olive, less yellow than 
scolopaceus. I have seen no specimens of stellatus. 
P. s. consobrinus Reichenow is probably a synonym of flavisquamatus. 
Gyldenstolpe (Kungl. Sv. Vet. Akad. Handlngr., 1924, pp. 244-245) records 
the Uganda form aloysii from the Semliki Valley, eastern Belgian Congo. This 
is more western than the limits given by Sclater (Syst. Avium Ethiop. 1924, 
p. 284). In the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy are two males of this race 
(aloysi1) from slightly farther west even than Gyldenstolpe’s birds — from the 
Beni-Irumu forest on the western edge of the Semliki Valley, where most of the 
birds are of West African forms. 
Muscicapidae 
Terpsiphone viridis speciosa (Cassin) 
Muscipeta speciosa Cassin, Proc. Phil. Acad., 1859, p. 48: Kamma River, Gaboon. 
Male, Bumba, 31 December 1926. 
This specimen has absolutely no brown in the plumage; the tail and the back, 
rump and inner wing coverts are white, while the interscapulars are black, 
broadly margined with white. A male (M.C.Z. 81340) from Metet, Cameroon, 
is similar except that the back and rump are chiefly blackish, while another 
from Efulup, Cameroon, has the interscapulars, back, and rump splotchy in 
appearance, — brown, black, and white. Both Cameroon birds have the long 
rectrices entirely white save for narrow basal black margins and black bases to 
the shafts, while the present Congo specimen has the entire shafts and a broad 
terminal area of the vexillum of both webs black. 
The description of melampyra Hartlaub (Syst. Orn. W. Afr., 1857, Dp. 00), 
is practically unidentifiable, and the name should therefore be synonymized.
