it has been recorded from the Rio Benito (Tessmann), 
Fernand Vaz (Marche and De Compiégne), the Camma and 
Muni Rivers (Du Chaillu). In the British Museum there 
are a full-plumaged male and female from Landana (Petit 
and Lucan). 
In its most eastern range Mr. Jackson has collected several 
specimens in the Nandi country and at the Eldoma Ravine in 
British Hast Africa.
