Occui's in the Nile regions and on the Eed Sea coasts, as far as 

 23° N. lat. South of this it is said by Heuglin to be common in 

 the coast-lands of Abyssinia south to the Gulf of Aden, and in 

 the warmer portions of Abyssinia it ascends to 7000 feet. Near 

 Khartoum he found it breeding. It is common in Shoa, according 

 to Antiuori and Eagazzi, and is shown by Dr. Eeichenow to be 

 widely distributed in East Africa, from Bagamoyo to Masai-land 

 and the Victoria Nyanza.

Heuglin gives the northern limit of this species in N.E. Africa, 

 as 17° or 18° N. lat. in Berber and Takah. It appears both on 

 the coast-lands and in the mountains of Abyssinia, in the latter up 

 to 8000 feet, also in Senar, Kordofan, and in the country of the 

 White Nile and its tributaries, as well as in Danakil and Somali-
