CHLOROPHONEUS SULFUREOPECTUS SUAHELICUS (Neumann) 



Cosmophoneus suJ pit iireo pectus suahelicus Nextmann, Joiiru. fiir Orn., 1899, p 



395 : Kakoma, south of Tabora, Tanganyika Territory. 

 Specimens collected: 



1 unsexed, Tharaka district, Kenya Colony, August 12, 1912. 



1 female, Tana River, camp 6, Kenya Colony, August 21, 1912. 



1 male, 1 female. Tana River at moutli of Tliika River, Kenya Colony, 

 August 24, 1912. 



2 males, 1 female, Thika River, 9 to 20 miles above moutli, August 27, 1912. 

 1 female, Athi River near Juja Farm, Kenya Colony, August 31, 1912. 



The range and characters of this race have been discussed under 

 the northern form fricki. Two of the above-listed specimens (the 

 males from Thika River, August 27) are intermediate in coloration 

 and may be matched by Ethiopian examples (typical fricki), but, 

 because of the fact that the majority of south-central Kenyan birds 

 are true suahelicits, I refer them to this race also. Both of them are 

 molting the rectrices.
