The north-east African form of P. flammiceps is distin- 

 guished from that in West Africa by Neumann ou the 

 character of the broader frontal band. Mr. Ogilvie-Grant 

 finds that the under tail-coverts of the southern Abyssinian 

 birds are white, and believes that this is a good distinctive 

 character.
