1 Dr. Hartert tells me the N.E. African examples at Tring have the wing 445-460 
mm., but I cannot see any great differences in plumage except in those from the 
tropical zone which I have separated both as being darker and differing in size. The 
barring is variable in all forms, but the tendency of the tropical zone birds is to show 
more black than white below.
