Hab. S W. Africa (Damaraland). |The records from Swaziland, N. E. Rhodesia and Karonga (Nyasa- 
land) are most certainly referable to the following subspecies. | 
1) Although Levaillant’s figure leaves much to desire yet the explicit statement that he met with the species only in 
the localities given above enables us to strictly refer the name minutus to the form of the Cape Colony. 
2) This species I have not seen. Mr. Ogilvie-Grant, however, informs me that the British Museum possesses a series 
from Mokia, S. E. Ruwenzori, and has favoured me with the following note : « In the colour of the under parts A. roccatit is 
intermediate between A. punctifrons and A, capensis (i.e. A. minutus smithti), On the upper surface it is darker olive-green than 
A, punctifrous. From both species it is very easily distinguished by having the fore part of the forehead yellow and with 
scarcely a trace of the black spots characteristic of both A. functifronus and A, capensis. »
