birds from Kenya Colon}-, except the most northern and 

 coastal portions, and all from Uganda and the Lado Enclave. 



This race is characterised by being ochreous beneath with 

 various degrees of mottling, and in the coastal part of its range 

 it has occasional longitudinal chestnut stripes reminiscent of, 

 though never as definite as, F. s. rovuma. Wings : S 140- 

 148; ? 132-145.

Range. As above. 



5 F. Francolinus sephaena, subsp. 3. 



This is a small pale desert race of which the distribution is 

 as yet ill-defined. It is the palest form known, but I have 

 not sufficient material to justify naming it. It has never 

 any sign of striping on the underside. Wings : ^ 140-148. 



Specimens 6. Brit. Mus. 2. Sir F. Jackson 3. S. R. 

 Clarke 1. 



Range. Northern Guaso Nyiro to Marsabit and westwards 

 to south of Lake Rudolf. 



5 G. Francolinus sephaena, subsp. 4. 



This is a laroer race and has consistent though narrow 

 striping on the underside. It is obviously an intermediate 

 race between the last and F. s. spilogaster of Somaliland and 

 eastern Abyssinia, and as such it appears hardly worthy of 

 a name. Wings: (? 149-160; ? 138-140. 



Specimens 7. Sir F. Jackson 7. 



Range. At present only known from the extreme northern 

 boundary of Kenya Colony (Moyale, Wajheir, etc.). It will 

 probably be found to extend northwards and grade into 

 F. s. spilogaster Salvadori. 



5 H. Francolinus sephccna jul)aensis Zedlitz. 



Francolinus seplicuna juhaensis Zedlitz, Orn. Monats. 1913, 

 p. 59 : Afgoi, southern Italian Somaliland. 



The smallest form of F. sepha-na. It is scarcely separable 

 in colour from F. s. granti, though as a rule it is somewhat 

 greyer on the back. Little or no signs of striping on the
