recently added to the British Museum collection with the 

 typical examples of ^. heyi from Araljia, I find that the former 

 differ constantly in having the general colour of the upper-parts 

 darker, and in lacking entirely the white forehead and lores 

 characteristic of A. heyi. Measurements the same as those of 

 A. heyi. 



Adult Female. — Similar to the female of A. heyi. 



Range. — Egypt and Nubia.

 xxi^z. crawshay's francolin. francolinus crawshayi. 

 Fnincolinus cniivshayi., Ogilvie-Grant, Ibis, 1896, p. 482, pi. xii. 

 Adult Male. — Most nearly allied to F. levaillanti, which it 

 resembles in having the black and white superciliary stripes 

 confluent on the nape. It is easily distinguished by having the 

 pure white chin and throat bordered by a dull rust-coloured 

 band ; this is divided from the dull chestnut sides of the head 

 and neck by a nearly pure white band, commencing above the 

 angle of the gape ; the fore-neck is nearly pure white, only a 

 few of the lowest feathers barred with black. Total length, 1 1 

 inches; wing, 6-5 ; tail, 275 ; tarsus, 1-9. 



Ranjje. — i\Iountains of Nyika to the west of Lake Nyasa. 



The only specimen I have seen was obtained by ^Ir. Richard 

 Crawshay, on Cheni-Cheni Mountain, at an elevation of 7,400 

 feet.
