Range. — vS. Angola eastwards to Lake Ngami. Rhodesia, the 

 Zanibesi Valley and S. Nvasaland : 



Observation. — I ani rather donbtfiil as to whether this bird 

 should be considered a snb-species of Centropus moiiac/nis but ani 

 inclined to treat it as such. 



The remaining closely-allied form Centropus fischcri I hâve 

 alreadv discussed in this paper. It must evidently be considered a 

 species from Professer Neumann's. description of the type and 

 others in the Berlin Muséum.
