There are no specimens available, and in consequence it is 

 impossible to define the range o£ this race, nor can it be 

 determined whether or not it is separable from the Uganda 

 and Kivu birds which are the nearest in point o£ locality. 

 I propose here to limit this race to the typical locality 

 only. 



Specimens. None examined. 



Range. Lunda, Angola-Congo boundary. 



26 c. Francolinus squamatus, subsp. 1. 



Two birds collected by Ansorge at Degama, Southern 

 Nigeria, appear to be intermediate between F. s. squamatus 

 and the other races, the dark centres of the feathers of the 

 underside being comparatively small. Male very grey ; 

 female much mottled and vermiculated above and below. 

 Wings : cJ 176 ; ? 177. 



Specimens 2. Tring 2. 



Range. Degama, and probably elsewhere in Southern 

 Nigeria.
