760 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
Cisticola chubbi Sharpe 
Cisticola chubbi Sharpe, Ibis, 1892, p. 157: Kimangitchi, Mt. Elgon. 
Female, Lulenga, 2 March 1927. 
Agrees with specimens of typical chubbi in the Museum of Comparative 
Zoology. 
Cisticola rufopileata Reichenow 
Cisticola rufopileata Reichenow, Journ. f. Ornith., 1891, p. 69: River Nun, 8. Nigeria. 
Adult female, Yalembe, 7 January 1927. 
This specimen agrees fairly closely with the description of eminz Reichenow, 
having the top of the head and the hind neck distinctly reddish brown sharply 
demarked from the earth-brown of the back, much redder than the rump. 
Cisticola erythrops sylvia Reichenow 
Cisticola sylvia Reichenow, Orn. Monatsb. 1904, p. 28: Ulegga, near south end of Lake Albert. 
Female, Lulenga, 1 March 1927. 
The single specimen collected must be referred to sylvia according to infor- 
mation received from Admiral Lynes who is monographing this difficult genus. 
Prinia mistacea melanorhyncha (Jardine and Fraser) 
Drymoeca melanorhynchus Jardine and Fraser, Contr. Orn., 1852, p. 60: Abomey, Dahomy. 
Male and female, Mobeka, 24 December 1926. 
These two specimens agree very well with the description of melanorhyncha 
which I have not otherwise seen. 
Turdidae 
Saxicola torquata axillaris (Shelley) 
Pratincola axillaris Shelley, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1884, p. 556: Kilimanjaro. 
Male and female, Lulenga, 8 March 1927. 
Meinertzhagen (Ibis, 1922, pp. 20-29) writes that the birds of the eastern 
Belgian Congo are axillaris. The present birds are not salax (type loc. Gaboon) 
as they have black axillars, but they have fairly wide white tips to the axillars 
in which character they approach salaz. The axillars are smoky brown, widely 
tipped with white in salaz and are black narrowly tipped with white in azillaris. 
Bessanornis heuglini occidentalis (Reichenow) 
Cossypha heuglini occidentalis Reichenow, Journ. f. Orn., 1909, p. 108: Lufuku, west of Tangan- 
yika. 
Male, Kamaniola, 2 February 1927. 
B. h. occidentalis differs from typical heuglint in being darker on the breast 
and more rusty on the upper parts. This specimen has a wing of 100 mm., 
while a male of heuglini from Ruanda (M.C.Z. 95487) has a wing of 97 mm.
