Mr. J. D. La Touche writes regretting that in his de- 

 scription o£ Emberiza cia styani (Bull. B. 0. C vol. xliii. p. 81) 

 he compared it with E. c. jankowskii, whereas he meant to 

 have written E. c. godlewskii. As Mr. La Touche points out, 

 E. jankowskii is a Corean form of E. cioides. 



Mr. David Bannerman made the following remarks on 

 the distribution of the Senegal Swallow, and described a 

 new race from the Grold Coast. He said : — 



" Examination of the large series of Ilirundo senegalensis 

 contained in the British and Tring Museums reveals the fact 

 that the bird hitherto known as H. senegalensis senegalensis 

 may be split into two races. The typical species was described 

 by Linnaeus from Senegal, and it is obvious that this is a 

 comparatively pale-breasted bird. Besides the type-locality, 

 from which we have a number of specimens, it occurs in 

 Gambia and Portuguese Guinea, probably in French Guinea, 

 in the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast, and in 

 Northern Nigeria. Further east we find this pale-breasted 

 race in Equatorial Africa, in the Sudan, and in Darfur, 

 where Admiral Lynes and Mr. Willoughby Lowe have 

 recently obtained a considerable series. I have examined 

 35 specimens of the typical form with the light chestnut 

 underparts from the localities mentioned. 



" The race which I now propose to separate, and which has 

 hitherto been united with the Senegal bird, is an inhabitant oF 

 the moist forest region of the Gold Coast, and will, I believe, 

 be found to be a resident coastal form. 



" I propose to name the Gold Coast bird 



" Hirnndo senegalensis saturatior, subsp. no v. 



'"'Adult male and female. Distinguished from H. s. sene- 

 galensis by the very much deeper chestnut of the underparts ; 

 the entire neck, breast, belly, sides of body, flanks, and under 

 tail-coverts being uniform deep chestnut, many shades darker 

 than in Senegal specimens. There is no sign of any white 

 spots on the tail-feathers.
