Sharpe with tins species. We can also find no distinction 

 whatever between these birds and specimens from West 

 Africa {M. edoliuides Swainson). B7-adyornis diabolicus of 

 Sharpe Cat. Birds, iii. 1877, p. 314, was founded partly on 

 adults of this species and partly on immature examples of 

 M. ater.

Three races of this bird are recognized by Zedlitz (J. f. O. 

 1915, p. 41). They appear to be only distinguished by size. 

 We find that there is great variation in size in jill localities, 

 measurements ranging from 73-85 ram. both in northern 

 Somaliland and in southern British East Africa. B. jjumilus 

 Sharpe has already been pointed out to be a synonym by 

 Ogilvie-Grant, Ibis, 1913, p. 632. We can see no justifi- 

 cation for recognizing any races.
