We have examined the examples of Serinus mozambicus in 

 the Museum, and find that the following races seem fairly 

 distinct: 



1. Sekinus mozambicus mozambicus (P. L. S. Mull.) : 

 S. Africa. 



Dusky brown above, strongly streaked with dark brown. 

 Tail-feathers tipped with white or yellowish white. 



Range, South Africa north to the eastern parts of British 

 East Africa, Nyasaland and Rhodesia. 



2. Serinus mozambicus tando, subsp. n. 



Differs from S. m. mozambicus in being distinctly greener 

 above and with rather fine streaking on the back; tail- 

 feathers, if tipped at all, very slightly with yellowish. 



Type, a male from Ndala Taudo, north Angola, col- 

 lected by Dr. W. J. Ansorge 16/ix./08. B.M. Reg. no. 

 1910/5/6/1300. 



Range. Northern Angola. A bird, from the Dikulwe 

 Valley, Belgian Congo {Neave), would appear to belong- 

 to this form. 



3. Serinus mozambicus punctigula. 



Se)-inus punctigula Reichenow, O. M. 1898, p. 23 : 

 Cameroon. 



Differs from S. m. mozambicus and S. m. tando in baving a 

 blight greenish back with very faint streaking. The crown 

 is green as in the last two races, and the tail is slightly 

 tipped with yellow.
