Xmdhodlna pyrgita Heuglin, Journ. f. Ornith., 1862, p. 80 (Bogos Mountains, 

 Abyssinia). 



Two specimens: plains east of Mount Kilimanjaro, October 3, 1888; 

 and Useri River, near Mount Kilimanjaro, August 30, 1888. One of 

 these is immature, and has an evident though not conspicuous light 

 brown superciliary stripe; the yellow throat patch is smaller and much 

 paler than in the adult; the rest of the lower surface is also lighter; 

 otherwise it does not differ. Two specimens of this species from 

 Somali Land are decidedly more grayish both above and below than 

 those obtained by Doctor Abbott, but whether this is geographical or 

 individual our material is not suthcient to determine.
