This specimen has been compared with a female topotype of 

 Mr. Oberholser's 0. c. anonyma from Kilimanjaro. It is grayer on 

 the inter-scapulum and also on the chest than the topotype, and thus 

 tends to confirm the validity of anonyma;* but, on the other hand, 

 the differences between anonyma and specimens of true capensis 

 from South Africa, appear to the writer to be of a seasonal nature, 

 and not geographical variation.
