Birds from North-east Rhodesia. 107 



Lybius torquatus irroratus (Reichw.) (Tropical Black- 

 collared Barbet.) 



(a) ^ . Chiroiuwe, Oct. '03. 



(b). Greorge's Ferry, Apr. '04. 



(c). Ulungu, May '05. 



[Reichenow (Vog. Afr. ii. p. 126) distinguishes the Black- 

 collared Barbet of Tropical Africa from L. torquatus (Black- 

 collared Barbet) under the above name ; it is rather smaller 

 (wing under 3*5 against wing over 3'5) than the typical 

 form from Cape Colony, and also differs in the greater 

 distinctness and extension of the freckling on the brown back, 

 which includes even the greater wing-coverts.] 



— . Lybius macclounii (Shelley). (Maccloun's Barbet.) 



(a) 9 . Uimbe, nr. Serenji, Sept. '05. 



lb) 9 . Mpika, Oct. '05. 



[This is a well-marked species, first obtained by Gen, 

 Manning from the highlands near the north end of Lake 

 Nyasa. It was described and figured by Shelley ('Ibis,' 1899, 

 p. 377, pi. vi.) and is not known from south of the Zambesi : 

 cf. Reichenow, Vog. Afr. ii. p. 120.] 



— . Stactol^ma anchiet^ (Boc). (Anchieta's Barbet.) 



(a) $ . Serenji. 



[Anchieta's Barbet has hitherto been known only from 

 Angola, where it was found by the collector whose name it 

 bears. Its occurrence in North-west Rhodesia extends its 

 range very considerably to the west. It can easily be dis- 

 tinguished from S. sowerbyi (Sowerby's Barbet), its nearest 

 ally, by its green-streaked throat and breast ; it is described 

 by Reichenow (Vog. Afr. ii. p. 141).]
