Hab. " Not found by us in Sarabar, but met with in the 

 mountains of Bogos and Abyssinia^ Takab, throughout the 

 whole of Abyssinia southward to Shoa, in Fazogb Senar, 

 Kordofan, and the White Nile district, westward as far as 

 the Kosanga Hiver " [Heuglin^'^) ; Gazelle River {Ant'mori^'^) ; 

 Senafe and Facado in May, Bejook, on the Anseba^ July, as 

 low near the coast as Ain in August {Jesse'') . In Abyssinia it 

 is chiefly found at about 4000 feet and up to 7000 or 8000 feet, 

 but is occasionally met with at a lower elevation, as I once saw 

 a bird at Koomali {Blanford^) ; Anseba and Keren [Antinori 

 i^ Beccari^°). Shoa, at many localities [Antinori^') ; ? Unioro 

 and Madiland (Speke^). It crosses to West Africa and is 

 common in Senegambia (Rochebrune^^) ; Gambia; Bissao, 

 Galam {Beaudouin'^°) ; Fautee [Ussher^) ; Accra (Pe/' ') ; 

 Abouri, in the Aguapim mountains [Shelley <Sf Buckley) ; 

 Camaroons (Reichenow^^) ; Pungo Andongo, in Angola (Mon- 

 teiro^). — N.B. It is quite possible that the Angolan bird 

 may be B. cajfer.
