Museum. Two others from the same locality as the 

 previous couple agree well with Neumann's F. i. emini. 

 These birds have wings of 172 and 186 mm. in males, and 

 162 and 170 mm. in females. Neumann gives 185 mm. as 

 the measurement of F. i. ugandensis. I have examined his 

 type and cannot^ even with pressure, bring the length to 

 this figure, but make it 182 mm. on the right and 178 mm. 

 on the left side. I consider his bird to be the same as 

 F. i. emini, and F. i. emini to be hardly separable from 

 F. i. icterorhynchus. 



A specimen obtained by Boyd Alexander in the Bahr-el- 

 Ghazel, in the Tring Museum, has a wing-measurement of 

 185 mm. C. Grant, in the ' Ibis ' of Jan. 1915, gives the wing- 

 measurements of true F. i. icterorhynchus as 159-167 mm. 

 Two specimens, collected by Seth-Smith at Nimule and 

 Masindi in the Nile Province, agree well wath Alexander's 

 specimen in colour, and they have wings of 182 and 186 mm. 

 respectively. Two specimens, collected by Ansorge in 

 Uuyoro, have wings measuring 176 and 177 mm. 



The plumage of this Francolin varies so much according 

 to season and age that it would appear doubtful whether 

 the subspecies named can stand. 



These birds were met with in the scrub-country and near 

 native cultivations. Nests and eggs were taken in May and 

 June, and young, of about two weeks old, in July.
