This species is included on the authority of Neumanx who 

 informs me that Mann obtained the White-shonldered Crow at 

 Okeodan — a mission station situated in the Yoruba countrv north 

 of Lagos. From Nigeria there are tvvo examples in the Rritish 

 Muséum collected on the.Kaduna river by G. F. Abadie. 



Range. — In the British Muséum we hâve a large séries of this 

 crow from the following localities in West Africa : Sénégal, 

 Gambia, Sierra Leone, Libéria, Gold Coast, Northern Nigeria, 

 N. Belgian Congo, Fernando Po. It is also represented from 

 numerous other districts in South, East and S. W. Africa.

Lagonosticta senegala senegala. 



Fringilla senegala L., Syst. Nat., I2th Ed., 1766, p. 32. — Tvpe 

 localitv : Sénégal. 



Professer Neumann informs me that there is an example of 

 Lagonosticta senegala in the Sttiitgart Muséum collected bv Mann 

 at Lagos. 



It can hardly belong to any other race except the typical form 

 of the Sénégal Rose-coloured Fire-finch. 



From Northern Nigeria we hâve spécimens from Lokoja (Forres 

 and Ferrvman) and from the Niger River (Baikie).
