All tbcse specimens heave very sbort bristly tufts between the nostrils, and in 

 the last-mentioned ? these tufts are entirely absent, although it doubtless belongs 

 to this species. Probably all these Central African birds belong to an unnamed 

 subspecies. 0. Neumann has separated several races of iV. ptilor/ii/iic/ni, but it 

 must be said that Jesse's x\byssinian skins in the British Museum do not bear 

 out Neumann's character of the long tufts in the Abyssinian form, as they have 

 the bristly bunches rather short. The markings on the outer webs of the primaries 

 .seem to vary considerably.
