C. e. punctatatissimus dii^&T^ from the preceding form by the exceed- 

 ingly fine, almost obsolete, speckling of the upper surface and the darker 

 chestnut of the belly. If this specimen and No. 9254 were really both 

 got in exactly the same district it is evident that the present forni is 

 only a phase of C. 6. erythrogaster, but having been a menagerie specimen 

 the exact locality is open to much doubt.
