than those from South Africa. In order to appreciate these differ- 

 ences, I have appended the length of wing to each specimen in the 

 list below. Generally the wing is longest in South- African birds ; 

 Senegambian ones are slightly smaller or of about the same length,

 sight to separate them specifically, but East-African specimens 

 appear to be intermediate.

 and Angola, but only extending as far as the Eastern Cape Colony. 

 Introduced into Reunion and other islands.
