a Himalaya (N. C. Strickland) 1838. b India (Askew) 

 1839. c Kordofan (/. Petherick) 1848. 



The Kordofan specimen differs from Indian examples in having' 

 the forehead white instead of black, and were this character constant 

 it would be justifiable to keep the North- African bird distinct under 

 the name L. dealbatus, De Fil. Abyssinian examples, (L. fallax 

 Finsch. & Hartl.), however, are intermediate, and it would seem as 

 if one form passed gradually into the other.
