The " Ahia," writes Heuglin, lives in small families in the warmer 

 Talleys of Southern Shoa, where high trees are scattered about, 

 on the Hawasch River, and on the plateau of Somali-land. It is 

 undoubtedly resident. Antinori says that it was common in the 

 woods of Ambo-Karra in Shoa. Mr. .Jackson met with it at 

 Turquel and also in the Teita district, and Dr. Reichenow records 

 it from Ussagara, ITgogo, Kakoma, Lake Jipi, Mpwapwa, Aruscha, 

 and Masai-land.

 Captain Shelley's arrangement of the genus Turacus (Cat. B. xix.
