The three birds collected by Simons are identical with 

 L. V. decolor in the colour of the upper parts, but rather 

 darker vinous and approaching L. v. verreauxi on the under 

 surface.

I have com[)ared this specimen with the type in the British 

 Museum and find it to be almost identical in plumage, 

 except that it is slightly darker on the sides of the face 

 and inclining to ochreous on the flanks, but the wing and 

 tail measurements are rather larger, being: wing 158 mm., 

 tail 116, whereas in the type the wing is 145 and the tail 

 111, and in the co-type, wing 147 aud the tail 105. It may 

 be remarked, however, that neither of the typical specimens 

 is sexed.
