The St. Thomas Island Chestnut-winged Starling inhabits 

 the islands of St. Thomas and Kolas. 



The species, according to Mr. F. Xewton, is ver}- abundant 

 on St. Thomas Island, where it is known to the inhabitants 

 as the " Pastro," and it is apparently equally so on the 

 adjacent Eolas Island. On the adjoining continent it is 

 replaced by a small representative, 0. liartlauhi, similar to it 

 in form and colour.

Hartlaub's Chestnut-winged Starling ranges from Sierra 

 Leone to the Congo, eastward into the Niam-Niam country 

 and possibly occurs on Fernando Po. 



The most northern range known for the species is Sierra 

 Leone, where Mr. Eobin Kemp has procured a specimen at 

 Bo. Dr. Biittikofer has recorded it from Liberia. The type 

 of Aniij(1nis yeichcnoici came from the Aguapim Mountains,
