[The differences between C. hatvkeri and C. osiris are very 

 small, and I very much doubt if they can be kept distinct. 

 The red band on the breast is not quite so tinged with purple 

 or lilac as in C. haivheri, but some Abyssinian examples seem 

 to be scarcely distinguishable from the Somali specimens. 

 C. suahelicus has a more sooty-black breast and abdomen. 

 The specimen recorded by me as C. osiris from Machako's 

 (Ibis, 1891, p. 593) is referable to C. suahelicus. — R. B. S.]
