  The 
  Brit.Mus. 
  has 
  

   two 
  series, 
  each 
  of 
  three, 
  from 
  the 
  Cuming 
  Coll., 
  one 
  lot 
  marked 
  

   " 
  W. 
  Coast 
  of 
  Africa" 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  " 
  E. 
  Africa". 
  It 
  is 
  

   impossible 
  to 
  say 
  which 
  are

   The

  the

  subsequently 
  described

  This 
  erroneous 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  name 
  has 
  

   been 
  very 
  generally 
  copied, 
  no 
  doubt 
  from 
  the 
  "Thesaurus", 
  

   and 
  has 
  recently 
  been 
  perpetuated 
  by 
  Bartsch 
  in 
  his 
  Report 
  on 
  

   the
