Collection of Birds from Mozambique. 113 



also referable to this species. I am also inclined to refer 

 two specimens from the Ivuna river in Zululand, collected 

 by Messrs. Woodward^ and identified by me as B. oatesi, to 

 B. grisea, I have compared the specimens with one from 

 Turquel, in the Jackson collection, which I had identified 

 from the type specimen in the Berlin Museum. A specimen 

 fi'om Loronio is in Emin Pasha's collection in the British 

 Museum. 



B. pumila from Somaliland is certainly very closely allied 

 to B. grisea, and may prove to be identical, but the bufl'- 

 coloured throat and dark grey sides of the body appear to 

 separate it. The material in the Museum is now ample for 

 a revision of the genus Bradyornis when I shall have leisure 

 to discuss it. At present it would appear that B. pallida 

 is the large form from Xortli-east Africa. A smaller form, 

 B. modesta of Shelley, is found on the Gold Coast, and 

 another smaller form, which I think must bear my name 

 B. subalaris, is from East Africa. B. murina is a large grev 

 bird, which is found from Benguela to Mashonaland, and 

 extends to Nyasaland, and thence into Equatorial Africa.
