The White-necked Stork has the iris brown, the bill reddish, darker at the 

 base, and the feet crimson-lake. 



Dr. Reichenow (cf. Vogel Afr. i, p. 347 (i90i))has pointed out that 

 African examples of this genus belong to a distinct species D. microscelis 

 (G. R. Gray), which had been regarded by most authors as synonymous with 

 the present species. A third species, D. stormi (Blas.), found in Borneo, has 

 also been described as D. mortoni, Grant.
