Heuglin obtained this bird, and first called it H. erythro- 

 pthalma, at Gallabat and Gedaref, in Seimar. He afterwards 

 identified it with RiippeH's species. Shelley doubts the 

 identification, as Heiiglin^s birds were out of plumage, and 

 suggests that tliey were probably P. tceniopterus.

There apjjcar to be three races of the Grosbeak Weaver 

 in east and north-east Africa : 



A. albifrons melanota (Heugl.) : White Nile to Uganda, 



A. a. cethiopica Neum. : S. Abyssinia. 



A. a. unicolor Fisch. & Reichw. : British aiul German 

 East Africa. 



The specim'eu from Kenisa is distinctly darker on the head 

 even than A. a. athiopica, but judging by the white edgings 

 to the breast-feathers it appears to be a young bird and may 

 be referred to A. a. melanota for the present.
