N. Rhodesia and the Katanga District of Congoland. 259 



No. 783. ? . E. of L. Bangweolo, Oct. 20, 1908. 



Bill brownish horn-coloured, paler below ; feet brown ; 

 iris dark brown. 



I attribute these examples with some doubt to this species, 

 as they are more brightly coloured, especially as regards their 

 bright yellowish-green rumps. They may possibly represent 

 a new race of vitellina, but as all the specimens are in winter 

 plumage it is impossible to decide this point at present. 

 These birds were found haunting the large reed-covered 

 lagoons on Lake Bangweolo, often at considerable distances 

 from dryland. Their yellowish-green rumps were very con- 

 spicuous on the wing.
