Uonz from March to August, breeding in Jane. Dr. Eagazzi also 

 records it from various localities in Shoa bet\^een November and 

 June. Mr. Jackson procured it in Elgeyo (July), in Kikuyu 

 (August), and on Mount Elgon (February) ; and, according to 

 Dr. Eeichenovv, it extends south to Igonda, Kilima-njaro, Aruscha, 

 and Bukoba.

These specimens are undoubtedly L. anti^iorii, but Mr. Gillett 

 obtained a specimen near Grelaydee which is the true L. dorsalis, 

 Cab., as also is Mr. Lort Phillips's example recorded by Capt. Shelley 

 from Somali-land ('Ibis,' 1885, p. 401). Mr. Jackson's specimen 

 from Turquel (' Ibis,' 1891, p. 295) is also true L. dorsalis, with 

 black inner secondaries. I should not be surprised, notwith- 

 standing that Dr. Smith's specimens are determined as male and 

 female, to learn that L. antinorii and L. dorsalis are sexes of the 

 same species. Cf. Salvadori, Mem. It. Accad. Torino, (2) xliv.

 According to Heuglin, the range of this species is decidedly 

 restricted to certain districts. He found it only along the African 

 coast of the Red Sea from Suakin south to Adel-land, and he con- 

 siders it to be a bird of the lowlands rather than of the mountains, 

 which it seldom visits.
