The Angola Canary ranges northward from the Orange 

 river into the Zambesi and Congo districts, and has been 

 recorded from Uganda in tropical Central Africa. 



According to Mr. Oscar Neumann, a specimen he obtained 

 at Kampala in Uganda, May 25, 1894, belongs to this form 

 and not to its ally, 8. reichenowi. This considerably extends 

 the range as previously known for the present species, the 

 northern limit of which was the Loango Coast, where Falken- 

 stein procured the species, for there can be no doubt it is not 

 indigenous in Senegal, from whence the type of Fringilla tohaca 

 nominally came. 



The type of the species was obtained in Angola, as its name 

 implies, and specimens have since been obtained there by 

 Henderson. I do not find it recorded from Benguela, but 

 Andersson met with this species both in Damaraland and 

 further northward, congregating in large flocks and often 

 associating with 8. butyraceus. According to Dr. Bradshaw 

 these Canaries are tolerably common on the Orange river, and 

 Sir Andrew Smith found them near Kurrichaine, where he got 

 the type of his Linaria atrogtdaris. 



To the eastward, Mr. T. Ayres has procured specimens, 

 now in the British Museum, at De AVet's Drift on the Vaal 

 river, and at Potchefstroom. Between the Limpopo and 

 Zambesi rivers specimens have been collected by the late Mr. 

 Frank Oates in Matabele, and according to Mr. Guy Marshall, 

 who shot a specimen at Salisbury, it is not nearly so common 

 in Mashonaland as 8. marslialli.
