; On the whole the two forms are fairly separable, and as the eastern 
subspecies was originally described under a trinominal appellation, I see 
no reason for changing it into a binominal. 
A male specimen collected by Mr. Jouy at Matsumoto, Hondo (No. 
91437, November 5, 1882), is very remarkable for its unusually dark and 
saturated coloration. The back is a dark blackish brown, still blacker on 
the scapulars, while the tertials are wholly black with a delicate green 
silky gloss; the longest of the upper tail-coverts are of a deep burnt 
umber. It looks so different from all the other specimens, eastern and 
western, that at first I was tempted to regard it as a special form, but I 
am now convinced that it is only a case of excessive individual variation.
