4. A. i. Mtungensis: The plateaus of soutli-central Kenya Colony — 

 Kitunga, Thika, junction of Thika and Tana Rivers, etc. Similar to 

 fricki but larger; wings 90 to 91 mm as against 87 mm in the latter. 

 The yellow eye ring is not always more de\'eloped than in fricki as 

 Mearns thought. 



5. A. i. suhalaris: The coastal belt of southern Kenya Colony from 

 Mombasa north to Malindi and Lamu, inland to Voi, the Teita and 

 Taveta districts. Similar to typical insu^aris, but with the under 

 wing coverts buffy yellow, not bright yellow. 



6. A. i. sovialiensis : Southern Italian Sornaliland. This race is 

 said to resemble siwalaris but is much paler and has the under tail 

 coverts grayish yellow margined with pale yellow. 



7. A. i. oleaginus: From the Zambesi Valley, northern Rhodesia, 

 Mozambique, and Nyasaland, north through Tanganyika Territory 

 to as far north as Kilosa. Similar to insularis but paler above. 



The present specimen of fricki appears to be unique as far as I 

 know. It is in good, fresh plumage, and w as probably a month or 

 so past breeding when collected. Its dimensions are as follows: 

 Wings, 87; tail, 81; culmen, 16; tarsus, 20 mm. 



ANDROPADUS INSULARIS KITUNGENSIS Mearns 



Andropudus fricki kitiingensis Mearns, Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol. 41, no. 25, 



p. 4, 1914 : Kitunga, Kenya Colony. 

 Specimens collected: 1 male. Tana River at mouth of Thika River, Kenya 



Colony, August 24, 1912. 



This specimen has the yellow eye ring only faintly indicated, but 

 this may be partly due to the fact that the eyelids were cut during 

 the skinning process. Still, in general coloration, size, and other 

 characters it agrees most closely with kitungensis. Mearns referred 

 it to typical insularis^ but he had not seen any of the nominate form 

 at the time. 



The measurements of this example are as follows: Wing, 92; tail, 

 88; culmen, 18; tarsus, 22 mm. 



Nothing has been recorded of the habits of this form, but the 

 nominate race is known to breed from May to November in coastal 

 Tanganyika Territory.

 onyms of eugenia. Granvik ^ likewise concludes that saturata is not
