Stnhlmann's Weaver ranges from the Euwenzori Mountains 

 and Uganda to Lake Nyasa. 



The type specimens were collected by Emin and Stuhlmann 

 at Walia on the Albert Edward Nyanza, and at Karevia and 

 Bukoba on the western side of the Victoria Nyanza. Dr. 

 Ansorge has met with the species in Uganda, Tom and 

 Unyoro. 



Mr. Jackson's collection contains the full plumaged speci- 

 mens I have described from the Ruwenzori Mountains, and 

 from Kampala in Uganda, which confirm the statement already 

 made, that the sexes are alike in colouring, and that the black 

 crown is not a character of the female only, as is the case in 

 its near ally 0. reichenowi, of which the present species may 

 be looked npou as the western representative form in Central 

 Africa from Uganda to Lake Nyasa. The present species has 

 been recorded from Ngomingi (Marwitz), Tandalla, and from 

 Bulongwa in the Livingstone Mountains (Fiilleborn), and it is 

 possible that 0. sharpei may represent a plumage of this 

 species.
