Columbidfe of the Ethiopian Region. 315 



mediate forms ; while a specimen collected for me in Great 

 Comoro by Sir Jobn Kirk is a very typical T. damarensis. 

 The N.E.- African form has received the name of barbaru, 

 from Antinori. 



This species appears to be very common" throughout 

 S. and E. Africa, and certainly extends northward into 

 Bogos Land, whence I have specimens collected by Esler. 

 It also inhabits Great Comoro, Anjuan, Mayotte, and Mada- 

 gascar, but is not, I believe, to be met with in W. Africa 

 from Senegal to Angola, where it is replaced by the nearly 

 allied T. vinaceus. For the determination of a considerable 

 portion of the synonymy I have had to refer to the specimens 

 mentioned.
