Distingitishing characters. — Under-parts greener than in 

 tvpical bird; throat grev streaked with black; liead black, un- 

 spotted; pronounced white evebrow streak, also streak on cheeks; 

 yellow spots on upper-parts heavier; ground colour of upper-parts 

 in cfare black, in ç brown. 



Observation. — This race is perhaps most nearly allied to 

 T. h. ansorgei from Uganda. Professor Neumann in his original 



description compared it with flavipunctatuin, but hybridum never 



gets a vellow spotted head not even the female as does ansorgei. 

 T. h. hxbridiiin is well named as it is best placed between hirsu- 



tufu hirsutum and ansorgei tbus corresponding to its geographical 



position.

 Tricholaenia flavipiinctata Verr., J. f. O., 1855, p. 103 : Gaboon.

 markings brownish ; throat grev as in hvbriditni ; head black 

 speckled with vellow ; no white cheek or evebrow streak ; ear
