I have not examined a specimen of H, s. hypokiica from 

 Annobon. From the description of the adult male it is 

 indistinguisliable from the males of H. s. inomata, H. s. 

 puensis, and H. s. phimbescens, I have, therefore, included 

 it with these subspecies in my key. The hen of H. s. hypo- 

 leuca is unknown, ])ut it may, when procured, sliow characters 

 distinct from the hens of H. s. inurnata^ H. s. poensis, and 

 H. s. phimbescens. 



Section A. 



Haplopelia larvata larvata. 



Columba larvata Temra., Knip, Pig. 1809, p. 71, pi. 31 : 

 Le pays d'Autiniquoi (dans la partie meridiouale de 

 TAfrique), i. e. Knysiia, Cape Colony^ 



Haplopelia johnstoni Shelley, Ibis, 1893, p. 28, pi. iii. : 

 Nyasalaud. 



Range. South-east coast of Africa, from Cape Colony, 

 Transvaal, Natal, Rhodesia, and Nyasaland to British East 

 Africa. 



H. l. larvata is distributed over the greater part of East 

 Africa. Specimens from Durban in the British Museum 

 are absolutely indistinguishable from a bird obtained on 

 Mt. Kenya.
