Show 1895.] FROM WESTERN SOMALI-LAND. 46l extends northwards to 20° N. lat. It reaches also the coast Samhar, and is found over the whole of Abyssinia up to 8000 or 9000 feet, in the Gala countries, in Senaar and Kordofan, as well as in the district of the Lower Nile. In Shoa, Antinori found the species breeding. Mr. Jackson met with it near Lake Naiwascha, but in East Africa generally its place seems to be taken by L. sycobius, Peters (cf. Reichen. Vog. Deutsch-Ost-Afr. p. 172). 8. HETEROPSAR ALBICAPILLUS. Notauges cdbicapillus (Blyth) ; Heugl. Orn., N.O.-Afr. i. ;p. 520 (1871); Shelley, Ibis, 1885, p. 413; Oust.Bibl.

Heuglin states that this Starling is found on the Somali plateaux, on the highlands of Shoa, on the Bahr-el-Abiad, and the upper Djur. On the White Nile it never extends north of 7° or 8° N. lat. Brehm's statement that the species is found up to 10° N. lat. is wrong, according to Heuglin, who says that it is met with first to the south of the swamp-region. Ragazzi met with it m Shoa at Cialalaka, and Antinori says that it is very common in the spacious valley of Daimbi, where it is resident. Mr. Jackson met with it at Machako's in Ukambani, and Dr. Reichenow gives many localities in German East-Africa, from Dar-es-Salaam through Masai-land. Fam. BUPHAGIDJE. 11.
