 Somali-land seems to be the metropolis of this beautiful species : 



but it has been found to the south at Pare by Dr. Fischer, and in 

 the " wilderness " near the Eiver Tsavo (not " Tski-o," as printed 

 in my paper !) by Mr. Jackson. Here it was plentiful.

a, b. c? $ , Stonybrook, Ehrer Eiver, August 18, 1894. 



There appears to be no difference in the colouring of the sexes. 



This species was discovered by Mr. P. J. Jackson in Turquel, 

 and Dr. Smith found it in the mountainous country on the Ehrer 

 Eiver, near its junction with the Shebeli. I have also received a 

 specimen from Mr. Xeumann obtained between Mt. Kenia and 

 Lake Eudolph.

In N.E. Africa, Heuglin considered this species not to be seden- 

 tary. He found it in rocky valleys vniih high trees in Abyssinia, 

 northwards to Barka, in Fazogl, and Southern Kordofan, but 

 only during the rainy season. In Shoa, Antinori states that the 

 speciesis common on the elevated " Kolla " at a moderate height. 

 Mr. Jackson met with it on Mount Elgon, at Turquel, and also in 

 the Ulu country in Ukambani. Dr. Eeichenow records the species 

 from TJgogo, Nguru, Kilima-njaro, Lake Tanganyika, and Bassisi.
