range by a very similar form, C. canthornoides, distinguishable 
only by the full-plumaged males having the bright patch on 
the wing-coverts orange instead of red, and C. ignea appears 
to me to be only an intermediate variety; but, as with C. 
hartlaubt and C. nigra, I shall here treat them as distinct 
species. 
The Red-shouldered form figured by Swainson is the 
common Cuckoo-Shrike of northern Tropical Africa. From 
Senegal to the Niger it is abundant and well represented in 
the British Museum from Senegal, Gambia, the Gold Coast 
and the Niger. In Equatorial Central Africa it has been 
recorded from the Ubangi River, a tributary of the Congo 
(Dybowski). This specimen should, as Dr. Reichenow suggests, 
belong to his C. zgnea obtained by Emin in the Ndussuma 
country to the west of the Albert Nyanza, but he considers 
that Hmin’s specimens from Magungo to the north of that 
lake and from Wakkala and Tarrangole belong to the typical 
race. Between these places and the Victoria Nyanza, speci- 
mens have been collected in the Bulamwesi country and 
at Kwa Mtessa (Neumann). I have seen a specimen from 
Entebbe, in Mr. Leslie Seth-Smith’s collection, and it has also 
been obtained there by Mr. Jackson. 
In the Djur country Antinori found this species, with the 
young just able to fly, in September and October. Heuglin met 
with them in full plumage and abundant along the Gorgora 
Mountains in February, also at Gondar, the Gazelle, and Rek 
Rivers and from Wau and Bongo to the Kosango River, in the 
Bari country and at Fazogl. His hunters told him that it was 
not uncommon in the warmer parts of Abyssinia, where few 
have remarked it, possibly owing to its quiet and unobtrusive 
habits. Hsler has procured several specimens in Bogos ; 
Antinori found it along the Anseba River and Jesse obtained 
it at Senafé. Lord Lovat shot two specimens in southern
