Hab. Coastal districts of East Africa : Dar-es-Salaam

 Fadju\[(Emin); Bahr-el-Gazal [Blaine); Moradar [Zaphiro) ;

1 am unable to distinguish coastal birds from those mer 

 with on the White Nile. Apparently they range by way 

 of the Tana River and the south end of Lake Rudolf west- 

 wards to the Nile. A similar distribution is observed in 

 B. ffriseus. 



Wing 80-86 mm. ; tail 67-71. 



Dr. Reichenow [cf. \'(>g. Afr. ii. p. 436) has united this 

 form with B. murinus, but the latter is a quite distinct 

 species and easily distinguished, as will be seen by referring 

 to the key to the species given below. 



4. Bradyornis granti Bannerman. 



Bradyornis yranti Bannerman, Bull. B. 0. C. xxvii. p. 84 

 (1911) [Gibbe River and Walamo].
