it is a mountain species, occuri-ing between 6000 and 10,000 feet. 

 Eiippell found it breeding on the Taranta Mountains. South of 

 Begemeder and west of the Tana Lake it was not noticed by 

 Heuglin, who states that it is also absent in Bogos-land, but is 

 common in Hamasien, Akulo-Qusai, on the Adoa, and in Wogara 

 and Semien. Antinori found the species breeding at Licce on the 

 high plateaux of Shoa in November, and Eagazzi procured it in 

 December and July.

In North-eastern Africa this Pigeon is said by Heuglin to be 

 found in many different localities, both in the plains and in the 

 mountains up to 10,000 feet, and it occurs from Eastern Abyssinia, 

 Bogos-land, and Takah, from 16°-17^ N. lat., to the White and 

 Blue Xiles and their tributaries. Antinori found it common in 

 Shoa ; and Dr. Eeichenow gives the names of many localities 

 for it between Ugogo and the Victoria Nyanza.

Heuglin calls this one of the commonest of the resident birds of 

 North-eastern Africa. In Abyssinia it does not go higher than 

 7000 or 8000 feet. In the district of the Upper White Nile it is 

 rarer than in Nubia, Egypt, Arabia, and the Abyssinian coast. 

 Antinori procured the species in Shoa at Mahal-Uonz in November, 

 and in the Adda Gala country in May ; it was also met with in 

 Shoa by Dr. Eagazzi in June, July, November, and December. 

 Mr. Jackson obtained it in Turquel, and also in the Teita district ; 

 and it is recorded by Dr. Eeichenow from many localities in East 

 Africa from Ugogo to Kagehi.
