1. Francolinus shelleyi. 



Francolinus shelleyi Grant; Neave, Memoirs & Proc. of the 

 Manchester Lit. & Phil. Society, vol. 51, pt. iii. p. 1. 



This bird differs from the allied species in not being an 

 inhabitant of the thickets &c. of river valleys. It is found 

 in the woodland on hills and plateaux. 



2. Francolinus natalensis 



Francolinus natalensis (Smith) ; Neave, loc. cit. p. 2. 

 This and the following species frequent low ground. I did 

 not meet with either to the west of the Mchinga Escarpment.
