[Taken as a whole, the birds from Mau and Kikuyu have 

 greener foreheads than Abyssinian examples, and they can be 

 separated ; but I notice a slight tendency to a green forehead 

 among some of the Abyssinian specimens. It appears to me 

 likely that the metallic colour changes in time, and that the 

 fresher plumage is greener in tint. — R. B. S.]
