TJsambara mountains. 



The only specimens known are the types — a male and two females. 

 This species is about one third smaller than the South-African A. 

 morio ; the bill is proportionally shorter and stouter ; and the head, 

 neck, and wings are greener. The sexes differ in a very similar 

 manner to those of A. morio.

Pangani. 



I am unable to define satisfactorily the range of this species. Its 

 southern limit appears to be Mosambique. On the Zanzibar coast 

 it is plentiful. In the Leiden Museum there is a specimen labelled 

 " Nubia," on the authority of Riippell ; and Sir A. Smith's type 

 came from Siena Leone (111. Zool. S. Afr., note to pi. 30).

This species is fairly plentiful throughout the Zanzibar province, 

 and, according to M. Jules Verreaux, occurs in Senegal.
