I have named this bird as above, since I am not fully convinced that tlie Indian 

 and African forms are quite the same. The latter seems to be more brownish above 

 nnd the legs lighter (yellowish brown according to Dr. Ansorge's labels). I am 

 convinced that Vieillofs name rufidtts refers to the Indian form of this jiipit, and 

 that the name nifulns therefore cannot stand for the Crrtlnl(ui//,i, tn which it is 

 likewise ajiplied in the Cat. B. Brit. Mus. This latter will have to be called 

 C-rthilaiida fdljofaariatK Lafr. (Of. Cat. B. X. p. .''.74 and XIII. p. .'M.'i.)
