I take pleasure in naming this distinctive guinea fowl in honor of Mrs. Jean Bodaly of Missão Chitau , hostess to many naturalists who have visited Angola.

Mrs Jean Bodaly (fl.1934) and her husband, John, were Canadian Protestant missionaries to Angola. She made collections of birds at Chitau. Boulton's etymology mentions she had been '... hostess to many naturalists who have visited Angola.'

The next day I felt cold and ill but walked 18 miles into the mission at Chitau where Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Bodaly, Canadian missionaries from London, Ontario, were living.
