their size and habits as well as in the colouring of their 
females it is difficult to define any positively distinct range for

in which there is more black than yellow on the lesser and 
median wing-coverts ; two from Pondoland ; several from 
Natal ; and one from Zomba in the Upper Shiré district. The 
type came from Benguella, where Anchieta has procured speci-
