NO. 1411. BIRDS FROM MOUNT KILIMANJARO— OBERHOLSER. 835 



differs from the adult of the same sex in being- appreciably paler, both 

 above and below; the anchor-shaped mark on the white throat is more 

 brownish; the black median area of the ventral surface is more 

 restricted, posteriorly brow^nish, and with edgings of pale grayish; 

 the streaks on sides and flanks are noticeably smaller; "iris light 

 brown; feet pale flesh color." The single adult female, which con- 

 tained eggs ready for extrusion, is apparently of exceptional size, 

 being larger than any of the males: wing, 103; tail, 27; exposed cul- 

 men, 12; tarsus, 25; middle toe, 22 mm. 



Family NUMIDID.E. 



NUMIDA REICHENOV/1 Grant. 



Numkla reichenovi Gk.\nt, Ibis, LS94, p. bM (Makarungn, Ukambani District, 

 Briti.sih East Africa). 



One apparently typical specimen, from East Africa, l)ut without 

 specific data. 



NUMIDA INTERMEDIA (Neumann). 



Nu)ui<la iiutrungensis liita-ntedia Neumann, Ornith. Monatsber. , 1898, p. 21 (west 

 shore of Victoria Nyanza, German East Africa). 



One adult male, from the plains of Taveta, July 2, 1888. This is 

 a typical specimen, answering perfectly to the descriptions of JV. inter- 

 media^ and considerably extends the range of the species which does 

 not seem previously to have been recorded except from the vicinity of 

 Lake Victoria Nyanza. 



ACRYLLIUM VULTURINUM (Hardwicke). 



Numida vulturina Hardwicke, Proc. Zool. 8oc. LotuI., 1834, p. 52 (coast of west- 

 ern Africa) . 



Two specimens, from Mount Kilimanjaro, and the plains east of that 

 mountain, respectively. Both are adults in fine plumage. 



Family OTIDID.F:. 



LOPHOTIS GINDIANA (Oustalet). 



Eupodotis gindiana Ouwtalet, Bull. 8oc. Philoni. Paris, 1881, p. 164 (Somali Land). 



One specimen from the plains east of Mount Kilimanjaro, Septem- 

 ber 22, 1888. This is an immature male, and seems to agree very well 

 with the description of the adult female, though we have no proper 

 specimens for comparison.
