land, the lowlands of Abyssinia, extending up to 7000 feet, Senar 

 and Kordofan, but does not go far south along the White Nile. It 

 has not been recorded from Shoa, but Dr. Eeichenow gives the 

 Pangani Eiver as a single locality for the species in East Africa.

Heuglin found this Goatsucker not uncommon during the rainy 

 season in Bogos-land, where also Messrs. Blanford and Jesse 

 collected it, Heuglin also procured a specimen near Tedjura on 

 the Adail coast. Mr. Jackson met with the species at Makarunga, 

 and Dr. Eeichenow records it from Kigonge in Usaramo.

This fine species of Groatsucker with its long rictal bristles, its 

 red collar round the hind-neck, mottled with goIden-bu£E spots, 

 with a similar collar across the fore-neck, is very distinct from all 

 other African Goatsuckers, and Mr. Hartert pronounces it un- 

 questionably a new species.

Heuglin says that this Swift is resident in Southern Egypt, in 

 Nubia, and along the White and Blue Niles, becoming rarer in the 

 Gazelle Eiver district. He believes that he saw it also on the 

 Arabian coast and the Dahlak Islands, but not in the Abyssinian 

 Mountains.
