On the west coast it has been found as far north as Senegambia (Rendall, 1892) and Casamance (Verreaux, 1851). Rochebrune (1883-85) also says it is common in the Senegambian region and it is re- Sene-ported in large flocks on the Soma Swamp in Gambia (British Museum specimen), gambia There are, however, few records of its occurrence from the coast of Portuguese Guinea to the Gold Coast. Presumably it inhabits these regions. In the British Museum there is a single specimen from Gunnal, Portuguese Guinea. From the Gold Coast it has been reported as occurring at Cape Coast (Fraser, fide Reichenow, 1900) and at Volta (Ussher, 1874). Hartert (1886)</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
