from Equatorial Africa. 117 



specimens, which are in excellent feather, to suggest that 

 the differences in the metallic colour of the forehead and 

 throat have been produced by damp or by any artificial 

 means, and consequently 1 am constrained to consider them 

 distinct, strange though the circumstances of their capture 

 may be. 



I have named the species after Mr. W. G. Doggett, who 

 acted as Sir Harry Johnston's taxidermist, and is now the 

 Naturalist to the Government of the Uganda Protectorate.
