Capangombe and Huilla^ whence Anchieta lias sent a good 

 many specimens to the Lisbon Museum. It has also been 

 met with by the late Mr. Andersson in the neighbourhood 

 of the Okavango river. 



Besides the two specimens in the British Museum, which 

 are both females, I have a male in my own collection 

 received in exchange from Professor Barboza du Bocage, 

 under the name of C. bennetti. In his work on the Birds of 

 Angola, the last-named ornithologist considers C. capricoi'ni 

 to be the same species as C. bennetti ; but after reading his 

 remarks, although I believe that the differences mentioned 

 by him are due to age, I consider his bird to be true 

 C. capricorni, in which species such changes of plumage 

 also occur. So far as I can see, C. capricorni, although 

 belonging to the same section of the genus as C. bennetti, 

 is really quite distinct from that species.
