 ii. Appendix, p. 293 (1896). 



This species has been already described by Mr. Ogilvie 

 Grant, in his second volume of ' Game Birds,^ quoted above, 

 and he has pointed out the differences between it and the 

 typical A. heyi, from Arabia, as follows : — " On comparing 

 these and two other African males recently added to the 

 British Museum Collection with the typical examples of 

 A. heyi from Arabia, I find that the former differ con- 

 stantly in having the general colour of the upper parts darker, 

 and in lacking entirely the white forehead and lores charac- 

 teristic of A. heyi. Measurements the same as those of 

 A. heyi. Adult female similar to the female of A. heyi. 

 Range, Egypt and Nubia."
