This is an interesting discovery of Mr. Jackson^s, con- 

 sidered along with the appearance of Chera 'procne and Pyro- 

 melana taha in Central East Africa. In the case of the two 

 last-named birds I was unable to find any specific differences 

 from South-African examples, but the present bird is quite 

 recognizable from M. amelice by its smaller size and much 

 smaller bill. 



I have named the species after Sir Francis de Winton, 

 one of the Directors of the Imperial British East-African 

 Company.
