In my former memoir on this subject (P. Z. S, 1915, p. 91) 

 I mentioned that there were a good many species of the Feather 

 Collection which still remained to be examined, and that I 

 hoped to be able to give in another memoir the result of my 

 enquiries into some of them. This I propose to do in the pre- 

 sent paper, but, owing to pressure of space in the forthcoming 

 number of P. Z. S.,,I am only able to deal with a certain per- 

 centage of the material in my possession. Meanwhile, a most 

 interesting paper has been published by Professor Poulton 

 (P. Z. S. 1916, p. 91), dealing with Mr. Feather's Collection in 

 Somaliland, in which a large number of new species are described, 



* Communicated by the Secketart.
