This species differs from the preceding solely in having the large 

 spot in the centre of the lower throat pure silky white instead of 

 chestnut, or in wanting it altogether. No difference is traceable 

 in dimensions, wing-formula, or in the changes of plumage. The 

 geographical range, however, is entirely distinct. 



The European Blue-throated Ilobin breeds in Central Europe, 

 and is rarely found during the breeding-season as far east as E-ussia. 

 It passes through Southern Europe on migration, and winters in 

 Palestine and North Africa. Stray examples have been known to 

 wander as far east as Persia and India.
