two localities from, which specimens were then known, 
Yaunde and Manjema. The first-named town is, of course, in 
Cameroon, while Manjema is in the Belgian Congo imme¬ 
diately west of the northern end of Lake Tanganyika. 
Recently this bird was obtained by Dr. Christy at Bosabangi 
in the Belgian Congo and at Poko on the Uele River. 
There are also two specimens in the British Museum from 
Bompona on the Congo River. It appears, therefore, that 
this little Parrot extends its range right across central 
Africa from Cameroon to the eastern boundary of the 
Belgian Congo. Judging from the few specimens which 
travellers and collectors have brought back, it must be either 
very rare or very locally distributed.

The present collections contain two additional specimens 
of this beautiful little Hawk—a male [No. 4663] shot on the 
25th of December, 1911, and another male [No. 4926] shot 
on the 6 th of August, 1912, at Bitye (2000 ft.). Unfor¬ 
tunately Mr. Bates failed to secure a female. 
The bird which Sharpe named A. batesi is said by 
Mr. W. L. Sclater to be the female of A. hartlaubi sharpei. 
Including this latter bird, which was procured at Efulen, 
Cameroon, there were hitherto only three specimens in the 
British Museum—a male from Gaboon and a male collected 
by Bates at Efulen in May 1903. 
I am doubtful whether sharpei and batesi will prove to be 
synonymous. Certainly the two birds were procured from 
localities not far separated from one another. Only further 
material can settle this point satisfactorily.
