from Nyasa-land, Machakos, the Eldoraa Ravine, &c. It is 

 a blackish race of L. melanoleucus of South Africa, and 

 sometimes it is almost impossible to distinguish it from the 

 latter. L. angolensis Reichenow, on the other hand, seems 

 to be more distinct, being lighter brown, with narrow pale 

 borders to the quills, and the sides of the face and throat 

 light ashy.— R. B. S.]
