Species of the Family Coliidie. 311 



about 5° N. lat. and 25° E. long. On the West Coast, 

 Angola, Congo, Loango Coast, Casanianse, and Gambia. 



There is a fine specimen in the British Museum labelled 

 " Ndoruma {F. Bohndorjf) " There is also a living specimen 

 in the Zoological Society ^s Gardens. 



6. COLIUS STRIATUS. 



Tanagra macroura, Scop, (nee Linn.) Del. Flor. et Faun. 

 Insubr. ii. 1786, p. 95. 



Colius striatus, Gm. S. N. i. 1788, p. 369; Sharpened. 

 Layard's B. S. Afr. 1884, pp. 558, 853. 



Colius panayensis, Gm. S. N. i. 1788, p. 843. 



Le Coliou ray^, Levaill. Ois. d'Afr. vi. 1808, p. 36, pi. 256 

 (fair. Cape Colony). 



Colitis minor, Cab. J. f. O. 1876, p. 94 (Natal). 



Hab. S. Africa, Sliire R., S^vaziland, Transvaal, Natal, 

 Cape Colony. 



The present species includes three subspecies, 



a. With a more or less distinctly marked chestnut forehead. 



1. C. striatus intennedius, Shelley. Cape Colony. 



b. Forehead perfectly uniform with the crown. 



¥. Larger 2. C. striatus typicus, Gm. Eastern S. Africa. 



c^ Smaller 3. C. striatus minor, Cab. Shire R. and Natal. 



In the British Museum there is a small specimen from the 

 Shire R. possibly immature ; this I believe to belong to the 

 C. nmior, Cab., of which I have not been able to examine the 

 type. An immature specimen from the Knysna in the 

 British Museum has the entire upper mandible pale and the 

 lower mandible nearly black. 



I have proposed the title C. intermedius for the Cape 

 Colony subspecies as it is intermediate between typical 

 C. striatus and C. nigricollis.
