SPATZ'S RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE. 



Caccabis spatzi, Reichenow, J. f. O. 1895, p. no.

 no doubt be divided mto several races, the colour of the 

 plumage being darker in wooded districts, where the annual

 names, for they merge imperceptibly into one another, and it 

 is impossible to define where one begins and the other ends.

 Until recently I had not examined a male of the African form,

 the Soudan, procured two fine males in the Erba Mountains, 

 near Suakim. On comparing these and two other African males
