Now Riparia paludicola ducis Reichenow, 1908 . See Hartert, 1922b: 377 , and Keith et al., 1992: 138 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 559362 , adult male, collected above ‘‘ Escarpment’ ’, 8000 ft , Kikuyu Mts. , Kenya , in September 1900 , by William Doherty. From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : Three specimens were collected by Doherty in this locality; the holotype is the only one collected in September 1900 . The two paratypes are AMNH 559363 , sex unknown, and AMNH 559364 , female, both collected in December 1900 . Hartert (1922b: 377) noted that his use of ‘‘Mau Escarpment’’ in the original description was incorrect. Hartert (1902d: 620) described this locality as ‘‘in the Kikuyu Mountains above the ‘Escarpment’ station of the Uganda railway. ‘Escarpment,’ about halfway between Ft. Smith (Nairobi) and Naivasha station, was in October 1900 the terminus of the railway.’’ He further noted that Doherty’s collections were ‘‘from the eastern side of the Great Rift Valley’’. The Escarpment Station is at 01°01′S , 36°37′E (R.J. Dowsett, personal commun.).
