 Cat. B. M. xvii. p. 235; Shelley, B. Afr. i. no. 1616.

 bird should have been so long overlooked.

5G. COLIUS AFFINIS. 



Ikawa and Fife. 



This is the common E. African form of Coly; it ranges 

 from Nyasaland, about 14° S. lat., northward into Shoa 

 and westward to the Albert-Edward Nyauza. It is replaced 

 southward from the Shire district to the Cape of Good Hope 

 by C. striatus, and northward by its very near ally C. leucotis, 

 which is apparently a local Abyssinian form. To the west 

 C. nigricollis replaces C. affinis in the Congo district, the 

 Nyam-nyam country, and the Camaroons.
