BIRDS COLLECTED IN THE BELGIAN CONGO 761 
Erythropygia hartlaubi Reichenow 
Erythropygia hartlaubi Reichenow, Jour. f. Orn., 1891, p. 63: Mutzora, Semliki Valley, eastern 
Belgian Congo. 
Male, Kamaniola, 2 February 1927. 
This specimen has a slightly longer culmen than a male from Nairobi, Kenya 
Colony, and also has the basal half of the rectrices and upper tail-coverts darker 
than in the Nairobi bird. Dr. van Someren (Noy. Zool., xxix, 1922, p. 237) 
writes that his Kenya specimens are very much darker on the mantle than 
Uganda birds and have the crown almost black and he suggests that they may 
be separable. The present specimen from the Belgian Congo is generally darker 
than the Nairobi bird, which indicates that the birds are variable and that the 
eastern birds may not be separable. Gyldenstolpe gives Bukoba as the type 
locality, but he is mistaken in this. 
Timeliidae 
Turdoides hartlaubi ater Friedmann 
Turdoides melanops ater Friedmann, Proc. N. Eng. Zool. Cl., 1927, p. 11: Kamaniola, Belgian 
Congo. 
Male, Kamaniola, 2 February 1927. 
The present specimen is the type, and so far as I know, the only example of 
this race. It is darker above and below than any specimens of hartlaubi exam- 
ined, but may prove to be merely an individual variation. 
Measurements: wing 110.5; tail 109; culmen from base 19.5 mm. 
When I described this bird I put it in the species melanops by mistake as the 
white rump feathers were almost gone, giving it the appearance of melanops. 
Illadopsis fulvescens fulvescens (Cassin) 
Turdirostris fulvescens Cassin, Proc. Acad. Phil., 1859, p. 54: Camma River, Gaboon. 
Female, Bumba, 31 December 1926. 
I include this specimen under this race on geographic grounds. It agrees as 
much with wgandae van Someren as with typical fulvescens, but is smaller (wing 
70 mm.) than either. It has no shaft streaks on the feathers of the throat, 
thereby agreeing with ugandae, otherwise it is exactly like typical fulvescens 
from Cameroon and Liberia, but in size approaches pumilus. 
Motacillidae 
Motacilla aguimp Dumont 
Motacilla aguimp Dumont, Dict. Sci. Nat., xxi, 1821, p. 226: Orange River, Namaqualand. 
Male, Mobeka, 24 December 1926. 
The white superciliary stripes in this specimen are broader in front of the 
eyes than in a series from Cameroon, Kenya Colony, and South Africa, in the 
Museum of Comparative Zodlogy.
