B. Feathers on the chest dark brown, narrowly rnar- 

 giued with buffy white. Terminal part of the 

 inner webs of the inner primaries dark brown, 

 marked and barred with buff and rust. Feathers 



above the gape white F. rueppelU.

3. Francoltnus elgonensiSj sp. nov. 



In ' The Ibis ' for 1890 (p. 317) I published some notes on 

 Francolinus gariepensis, Smithy and its allies — a group to 

 which I added a new species_, F. shelleyi. The present 

 Francolin makes one more of the same section. 



Adult female. Most nearly allied to F. shelleiji, from which 

 it differs in having the head blacky each feather being edged 

 with rufous j the fore part^ sides^ and back of the neck and 

 nape, between the upper black and white stripes, rufous- 

 chestnut, each feather ornamented with a round terminal 

 black spot; superciliary stripes and the sides of the nape 

 between the upper and lower black and white stripes buff. 

 The feathers of the back and rest of upper parts rich black, 

 edged and barred with sandy brown and buff, and with the 

 buff shaft-stripes much reduced in width. The chest and 

 breast-feathers either chestnut with a subterminal wavy black 

 bar, or chestnut on the outer web and buff barred with black 

 on the inner ; the belly and rest of underparts black, tipped 

 and barred with buff mixed with rufous. The primaries 

 and the inner secondaries bright chestnut, barred and mottled 

 with black towards the tip ; and the outer secondaries dark 

 brown, with regular narrow bars of buff and rufous on both 

 webs. Wing 6*9 inches, tail 3'2, tarsus 1*8. 



Mr. Jackson's notes are as follows : — 



'' ^ adult. Irides brown. Bill dusky horn, lower mandible 

 fading into white horn at base. Legs pale yellowish white. 

 Shot out of a flock of four at 11,000 feet, Elgon, 15. ii. 90. 

 Think it is the same kind as seen on Mau at 9000 feet." 



4. Francolinus streptophorus, sp. nov. 



This species is not very nearly allied to any known to me, 

 nor does it conveniently fall into any of the known groups ;
