These birds undoubtedly belong to the typical Senegal race, 

 though it appears, from an examination of the material in 

 the Museum, that the southern form, separated by Reichenow 

 as K. m. meridionalis (Hartl.), comes farther north than is 

 generally supposed, and that British East African and 

 Uganda examples approach it more closely than they do 

 tlie present race. The size varies very considerably. The 

 Roseires specimen has a wing of 217 mm., while the 

 Yambio birds measure 234 and 247 mm. All are sexed 

 female.

There is no example in the present collections, but 

 Mr. Butler informs us it is common in the forest regions 

 of the Bahr el Ghazal, and we have a specimen in the 

 Museum shot by Mr. G. Blaine in that locality.
