 It is very interesting to find a race of the South-African 

 N. capensis in Somali-land, as the N.E.-African N. afer or 

 Eeichenovr's JV. nigritemporalis might have been expected. I 

 can find no difference between the Somali and Cape examples 

 beyond the conspicuously smaller size of the former and a certain 

 degree of more white at the tips of the inner primaries. The 

 same small race occurs in the Teita district, where a specimen was 

 procured by Sir Eobert Harvey.

b. Juv. Milmil, July 28, 1894. 



c. 2 ad. Sheik llusein, Sept. 29, 1894. Iris dark brown ; eye- 



lids fleshy, black in colour. 



The young bird from Milmil has-the crown of the head brown, 

 the hinder crown and nape creamy white, the back has obscure 

 pale edges to the feathers, and the wing-coverts are distinctly 

 margined with sandy buff, as also are the inner secondaries. The 

 ear-coverts also are m hite, with the fore part of the face black, and 

 some black mottlings on the side of the neck. 



Eiippell met m ith this specie^ in Shoa, and Ileuglin obtained 

 several examples from the Uppei White Nile, south of 9° N. lat., 

 in February and March. Dr. Eagazzi also found it at Assakalel 

 in Shoa, and Antinori noticed the species near Jerarudda in the 

 Somali-Isa district. According to Dr. Eeichenow, this species is 

 widely distributed in East Africa, and he gives the names of many 

 localities between Ugogoand Speke Gulf on the Victoria Nyanza.
