Mr. Richmond has kindly sent to me for examination his

Nos. 263, 263. c^ imm. West Ankole, 3200 feet, July 

 1900. Iris hght hazel. 



The two specimens procured by Sir Harry Johnston, 

 although not in full plumage, are very much darker than any 

 examples of U.phoenicea or U. traversi of a similar age in the 

 collections of the British Museum or of Mr. F. J. Jackson. 

 The rufous portion of the wing-coverts is more chestnut than 

 cinnamon, while the eyebrows, sides of face, and neck, as 

 Mell as the under surface of the body, are also jjcrvaded 

 with chestnut, giving the Ankole birds a much darker 

 appearance.
