H. 1013, 1014. <J. Kangao's, March 10, 1902. 



Near Katwe there were great numbers of! these birds. 

 I believe this to be the only Partridge found in the neigh- 

 bourhood. It was also extremely common near Kangao's. 

 The harsh note, ' Kareek Kareek/ is, I think, uttered only by 

 the male, but it is unmistakable. Considering the abundance 

 of this species, the absence of Quails is remarkable. 



[The adult birds seem to be identical with those from 

 Landana and the Congo. The series of specimens from Nyasa- 

 land in the Museum have blacker longitudinal streaks on 

 the fore-neck and chest, while the breast-feathers in particular 

 are whiter with scarcely any vermiculations. The under parts 

 appear whiter than in true P. cranchi, and the sides of the face 

 and neck are more mottled with white. These birds may be 

 P. bohmi of Reichenow, but until typical specimens of the 

 latter are available for comparison, it is difficult to decide. 

 The Nyasa-land bird may constitute a distinct light-chested 

 race. — R. B. S.]

Numida ptilorhyncha toruensis Neumann, J. f. O. 1904, 

 p. 410 ; Reichenow, Vog. Afrikas, iii. p. 813 (1905). 



Numida ptilorhyncha (nee Licht.) ; Hartert, Nov. Zool. 

 vii. p. 30 (1900 : Nakabimba, Toro ; Mokia R., Toro ; 

 Holulu R., tributary of the Semliki). 



H. 957. <J ad. Near Katwe, Toro, March 6, 1902. Iris 

 hazel-brown ; all the bare skin extending from under the eye 

 to the back of the neck pale blue ; bill a ruddy brown, like- 

 wise the whole of the top of the head ; feet blackish brown. 

 There seem to be numbers of these birds about, and they 

 appear to be bigger and heavier than the Uganda birds.
