Birds from British East Africa and Uganda. 43 



Total length in flesh: 12^ & 11 inches. Wing: 163& 

 155 mm. 



The Araala specimen agrees perfectly n^ith specimens from 

 Damaraland, and I cannot recognise T. c. tropica Reichw. 

 (Oru. Monatsb. x. 1902, p. 139: East Africa) as distinct. 



The specimen from the Turkwel River is much lighter in 

 colour and larger than the other from Amala and is, I tliink, 

 a female though marked as a male. 



Certainly specimens from jNlt. Elgon and other parts of 

 British East Africa seem to be darker than S. c. damarensis, 

 but agree well with specimens of S. capicola capicola 

 {C. vinacea var. capicola Sundev. Krit. om Levaill. 1857, 

 p. 54-: Environs du Cap, cf LevaiU. Ois. d'Afr. vi. 1808, 

 p. 79) from south-east Africa. 



[Irides brown ; bill black; legs and toes red. The Turk- 

 wel River bird has : Irides pale yellow, eyelids red ; bill 

 black ; legs and toes red. Common in the dry country.]
