Pleropus geoffroi/i, Temm. ; 1825. — Name proposed in lieu of 

 cegypfiacas, " vu que I'espece se trouve au Senegal, et probablemeufc 

 sur toute la cote septcntrionale d'Afrique," 



Eleutherura uiiicolor, Gray ; 1870.— Type locality : Gaboon ; 

 type iu collection. — Gray did not give any tangible character by 

 which to discriminate E. unicohr from E. rpr/i/ptiacus. The type 

 is a faded specimen, indistinguishable in cranial and dental 

 characters from examples from Egypt ; a specimen in the British 

 Museum from Loanda (Pungo Andongo) is further evidence of the 

 occurrence of R. cegypiiacus in W. Africa. 



ReniarJiS. — R. mjypt'mcas is a large-skulled northern represen- 

 tative of the R. leaclii type. It has not rarely been confused 

 with the allied R. leachl and R. arahkus, more frequentlj' with 

 the very different R. lanosus. Its distribution in Africa between 

 Angola and Egypt, and the exact limit:^ of its area in Syria and 

 Palestine (as compared with that of R. arahicjis), remain to be 

 determined.
