Compared with South-African specimens of P. moUtor, 



those collected by Mr. Jackson are decidedly darker, smaller 



in size, and the females have not quite so much white at the 



end of the outer tail-feathers; but, as this seems to be a variable 



chai'acter, it would be rash to found a specific difference 



upon it.
