include Sénégal in the range of this race. I hâve not been able to 

 examine any birds from there. Neumann in his list of Birds of 

 Lower Sénégal omits this species altogether (J. t. O., 191 7); 

 Reichenow (V. A., III, p. 486) had spécimens from Senegambia 

 and Portuguese Guinea listed under the typical species, C. c. kenipi 

 having been described since his book was published. Thèse 

 northern birds, if not C. c. kempi must belong to an undescribed 

 race.
