In looking over the series of specimens of Baza reimcardti 

 collected by our expeditions and comparing them with those 

 in the British Museum Collection, I have found it necessary 

 to make a careful examination of the allied forms and to 

 refer to the recent work which has been published on them 

 by Mr. E. Stresemann [cf. Nov. Zool. xx. p. 305 (191.3)]. 

 This appears to me to be unsatisfactory and misleading.
