tliighs coral-red, dusky behind.

 This splendid species is very distinct from any of the other 

 African Francolins, as will be seen from Mr. Grant's 

 descriptions.

 Aruscha) ; id. J. f. 0. 1885, p. 125 (Nguruman).

 Mr. Ogilvie Grant has already drawn attention to the in- 

 teresting specimen procured by Mr. Jackson, which is moult- 

 ing from the " hildebrandti '' plumage into the " altumi " 

 plumage, and which seems to prove that F. altumi, F. & R., 

 is only the male of F. hildebrandti, Cab.
