(There is no doubt that Apus apus and murinus breed side by side in Spain 

 and north-western Africa, and therefore I treat them nomenclatoriaUy as two 

 different species, but the forms of murinus are not yet finally understood. Of.

1129. Apus unicolor alexandri Hart. = Apus unicolor alexandri. 

 Apus unicolor alexandri Hartert, Nov. Zool. viii. p. 328 (1901 — St. Nicholas, Cape Verd Islands). 



Type : cJ ad., St. Nicholas, 8.xi.l897. Boyd Alexander leg.

1130. Apus andecolus dinellii Hart. = Apus andecolus dinellii. 



Apus andecolus dinellii Hartert, Bull. B.O. Club, xxiii. p. 43 (1908— Jujuy and Mendoza, Argentine 

 Bepublic). 



Type : ^ ad., Angosta Perchela, Jujuy, 2,550 m., 3.xi. 1905. L. Dinelli leg. 



f 1131. Apus nakumensis van Someren = Apus apus shelleyi (?). 

 Apus nahwruensis van Someren, Bull. B.O. Club, xl. p. 58 (1919 — ^Nakuru, Brit. East Africa). 



Type : cJ ad., Nakuru, 14. v. 1917. Dr. V. G. L. van Someren leg. 



(I have no doubt, judging from the specimens available, that Dr. van Someren 

 is in error, beheving that both " shelleyi " and " nakuruensis " nest on the same 

 cUffs near Nakuru ! All the birds which nest there belong to what we called 

 " shelleyi,'''' which, however, was described from Abyssinia, and before we can 

 decide whether East African and Abyssinian birds are ahke, a series from Abyssinia 

 should be compared with our East African birds. Cf. also Meinertzhagen, Ibis, 

 1922, p. 39.)

? 1132. Capiimulgus keniensis van Som. = Caprimulgus fraenatus Jceniensis (1). 

 Caprimulgus keniensis van Someren, Bull. B.O. Club, xl. p. 25 (1919 — ^Mt. Kenia). 



Type : ^ ad., " 1st camp north of Kenia, April 1919." A. B. Perciyal leg. 

 (The alleged " more numerous " and larger spots on the wing-coverts are 

 not different from several other true fraenatus, but the bird is darker on the 

 upperside and chest ; the shafts have a white fine in front of the white patches, 

 within which it is partially black. This coloration of the shafts is exceptional, 

 but may possibly be an aberrant character. Otherwise the form might be a 

 subspecies of fraenatus, but it was rash to describe it.) 



f 1133. Caprimulgus nubicus taruensis van Someren = Caprim. torridus. 



Caprimulgus nubicus taruensis van Someren, Bull. B.O. Club, xl. p. 25 (1919 — " Taru Desert to 



E. Kilimanjaro ").
