Nov. Zool. XXV. pp. 35G-359. After examining tlie material 

 in the Museum, we find we can recognise : — 



1. C. G. GUINEA, op. cit. With a wing of from 216 



(omitting " worn" specimens) to 286 mm. We can 

 find notliing over this measurement, though a number 

 are close to it. 

 Range. From Gambia to tlie Gold Coast and across 

 through the Sudan and Ankole to the greater part 

 of Abyssinia, Somalilund, and the whole of British 

 East Africa to Kilimanjaro. 



With this we unite unhesitatingly C. g. longipennis 

 Reichw. 



2. C. G. DILLONI. 



Stictoenas dilloni Bp. (yomptes lleiul. xxxix. 1854, 

 p. 1105: "Abyssinia/' piobably Eritrea. 



A most distinctly larger bird than C. g. guinea. Wing 

 (according to Hartert & Goodson) 236-245 mm. 

 Two specimens in tlic Museum measure 242, 245, 

 one from Kokai 229 ! With these we should place a 

 bird labelled " E. Africa" Verreaux, and which very 

 possibly came from Eritrea, with a %ving of 244 mm. 



Range. Eritrea. 



3. C. G. UHEHENSis lleicliw. O. M. 1898, p. 82 : Iringa, 



of which we know nothing. 



4. C. G. pn^ONOTA Gray : South Africa, which is plainly 



different. 



Family Turturid/E. 



Streptopelia semitorquata semitorquata ?

In ^The Ibis,' 1915, pp. 41, 42, Claude Grant revised the 

 races of this species, l)ut we can in no way agree with the 

 conclusions. Firstly, Turtur shelleyi of Salvadori, Cat. Birds
