CHOLMLEYI, Sp. 11. 



Ammoperdix cholmJeyi^ Ogilvie- Grant, Handb. Game -Birds 

 (Allen's Nat. Libr.), ii. app. p. 293 (1896). 



Adult Male. — The See-See inhabiting Palestine and the eas- 

 tern shores of the Red Sea has always been considered identical 

 with the African form met with in North- East Africa, in Egypt, 

 and the countries bordering the western shores of the Red Sea. 

 Until recently I had not examined a male of the African form, 

 but my friend, Mr. A. J. Cholmley, during his recent trip to 

 the Soudan, procured two fine males in the Erba Mountains, 

 near Suakimx. On comparing these and two other African males 

 recently added to the British Museum collection with the 

 typical examples of A. heyi from Arabia, I find that the former 

 differ constantly in having the general colour of the upper-parts 

 darker, and in lacking entirely the white forehead and lores 

 characteristic of A. heyi. Measurements the same as those of 

 A. heyi. 



Adult Pemale. — Similar to the female of ^. heyi. 



Range. — Egypt and Nubia.

Francolinus crawshayi^ Ogilvie-Grant, Ibis, 1896, p. 482, pi. xii. 



Adult Male. — Most nearly allied to F. levaillanti^ which it 

 resembles in having the black and white superciliary stripes 

 C07ifluent on the nape. It is easily distinguished by having the 

 pure white chin and throat bordered by a dull rust-coloured 

 band ; this is divided from the dull chestnut sides of the head 

 and neck by a nearly pure white band, commencing above the
