COMMENTS
: Hartert cited Bury’s unique field number of the

three specimens
collected by
Bury
at Hajeilah and ‘‘others’’ from
Lahej
.
Paratypes
in AMNH are: AMNH 592744, male, and 592746, female, from Hajeilah collected by
Bury
, and AMNH 592747, male, and 592748, female, from
Lahej
collected by W. Dodson.
Bury’s collection was first reported on by
Sclater (1917)
, where birds of this form were listed as
Cisticola cisticola aridula
(
Sclater, 1917: 156
)
.
Bury
(
in
Sclater, 1917: 135
) described Hajeilah as a ‘‘small township about
30 miles
from Bajil, and
2080 feet
above sea-level’’ in the foothills. Bājil is at
