Brava in South Somali-land. 
This species is, as far as we yet know, exclusively East-African. 
The type came from the Umba river in the interior, and is I believe 
the only other specimen known. South of the Zambesi it is repre- 
sented by the closely allied 1. canorus.

extending northward into Abyssinia and Kordofan, and thence crosses 
the continent to Senegal and Casamanse. 
7. GLAUCIDIUM CAPENSE.

With regard to its range as given by me /. c., instead of Zambesi 
read Limpopo as its southern known limit in Eastern Africa.
