This species ranges throughout Africa south of about 14° N. lat.

Turtur daniare?isis, Cab. J. f. O. 1878, p, 242. 



Pangani ; Usambara mountains ; Ugogo ; Dai'-es-Salaam. 



I cannot venture to define the full range of this species until I 

 have had more time to study the African members of the genus 

 Turtur ; but the present bird undoubtedly inhabits the whole of 

 South Africa, and ranges northward along the east coast to Mombas, 

 and is plentiful on the Comoro Islands. 



159. Turtur lugens. 



Turtur lugens (Riipp.), Heugl. Orn. N.O.-Afr. p. 838. 



Pangani. 



The present species is here recorded from the East-African region 

 for the first time. It ranges from Abyssinia to the Pangani valley. 

 The specimen before me agrees perfectly with one collected by Sir 

 W. C. Harris at Ankober in Abyssinia, now in the British Museum. 



160. ChALCOPELIA AFRA. 



Chalcopelia afra (Linn.), Finsch & Hartl. Vog. Ostafr. p. 554 

 (part) ; Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 716 ; Fischer, J. f. O. 1877, pp. 173,

 Fischer, tom. cit. p. 292 ; id. J. f. O. 1879, pp. 300, 303 ; Fischer 

 & Reichenow, tom. cit. p. 339 : Fischer, J. f. O. 1880, p 192. 



Pangani ; Usambara mountains. 



Drs. Finsch and Hartlaub unite as one species the specimens with 

 metallic green and with metallic blue spots on the wings ; but in the 

 present list it is undoubtedly best to treat them as distinct species, 

 although I am unable to define their separate geographical distri- 

 bution. Collectively they range throughout Africa south of about 

 17° N. lat. 



161. Chalcopelia chalcospilos. 



Chalcopelia afra, Fiusch & Hartl. Vog. Ostafr. p. 554, part.
