 In the original description, Mearns defined his material as "six females 

 from the upper Bahr el Jebel, near Lake Albert." While five came from 

 Rhino Camp (on the White Nile at lat. 2°55' N.) and are thus from the 

 Uganda Protectorate, the actual type came from Lokko Vegga, a spot not 

 shown on ordinary maps, but evidently located just north of the modern 

 boundary between Uganda and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. That this deduc- 

 tion is correct is implied by the fact that Jackson (Birds of Kenya Colony 

 and the Uganda Protectorate, 1938) ignores the locality and treats Mearns' 

 race as extralimital.
