See, if the girl's uncle a maternal one.
Boy is the brother of that girl.
If the girl's uncle - paternal one.
Then, in that case boy is the cousin of that girl.

@All.
Let's break down the statement to understand the relationships mentioned:
"He" - a boy
"The daughter of the father of my uncle" - a cousin of the girl's father (i.e., the girl's cousin).
"He is the son of the daughter of the father of my uncle" - the boy is the son of the girl's cousin.
Therefore, the boy is the cousin once removed of the girl. In other words, the boy is the girl's cousin's child.
