a. (^ ad. llavine, 7600 feet. 



I am unable to appreciate the diflPerences in size on which 

 my friend Mr. Hartert proposes to separate a race as P. f. 

 pusilla. The specimen in Sir Harry Johnston's collection, 

 as well as those presented by Lord Delamere and Emin 

 Pasha, agree in measurements with others from Nigeria 

 and the Gold Coast, and I am afraid that Pyromelana jmsilla 

 will not stand, even as a subspecies.
