92 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
Belgian Congo. Sclater (Syst. Avium Ethiop., 1924, p. 120) gives the range 
of forbesi as West Africa from Senegambia to Cameroon, so that the present 
specimen sets a new eastern limit to the known range of this species. 
Scolopacidae 
Erolia testacea (Pallas) 
Tringa testacea Pallas, in Vroeg’s Cat. Adumbrat. 1764, p. 6: Holland. 
Male, Kwamouth, 15 December 1926. 
Actitis hypoleucus (Linné) 
Tringa hypoleucus Linné, Syst. Nat., 10th ed., 1758, p. 149: Europe; restricted type locality, 
Sweden. 
Female, Nganchu, French Congo, 13 December 1926. 
Both these European migrants are widely distributed in Africa during the 
northern winter. 
Burnhinidae 
Burhinus capensis capensis (Lichtenstein) 
Oedicnemus capensis Lichtenstein, Verz. Doubl., p. 69, 1823: Cape of Good Hope. 
Female, Kamaniola, 1 February 1927. 
The iris is recorded as yellow in color. 
Neither Sclater (Syst. Avium Ethiop., 1924, p. 42) nor Meinertzhagen (Ibis, 
1924, p. 344) record this race from the Belgian Congo. According to the latter 
the bird from Kamaniola should be capensis on geographic grounds. It is similar 
to a specimen of the typical form from Guaso Nyiro, Kenya Colony, in the 
collection of the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy, but more reddish than some 
from the regions farther south (South Africa, etc.). I have not seen any other 
specimens of Burhinus capensis from the Belgian Congo, but it has been recorded 
from that country before this. It is likely that all the records refer to typical 
capensis. However, it may be that the birds from the northeastern parts of the 
Uelle are intermediate between capensis and maculosus. Meinertzhagen (cit. 
supra) writes that a specimen from the Bahr-el-Ghazal is of this intermediate 
nature.
