Captain Shelley separates the specimens from Mozambique as 

 C. kirl-ii, the only difference given being the absence of the me- 

 tallic purple colour on the i:pper tail- coverts ; the female is like 

 that of C. ametlujstina, but smaller. In the British Museum 

 is an adidt male, collected by Dr. Bradshaw on the Zambesi, 

 which has the upper tail-coverts just as much metallic purple as 

 the southern birds. Culmen 1-9 inch, wing 2-67, tail 1*7, tarsus 

 0-65.
