   both

  This

  may 
  be 
  distinguished 
  from

  its 
  

   brown 
  breast. 
  I 
  name 
  it 
  after 
  Mr. 
  Alexander 
  Whytc, 
  F.Z.S., 
  

   who, 
  by 
  the 
  present 
  collections, 
  has 
  added 
  much 
  to 
  our 
  

   knowledge 
  of 
  East 
  African 
  Ornithology.

  This 
  is 
  the 
  first 
  example 
  

   of 
  the 
  present 
  species 
  recorded 
  from 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  Zambesi. 
  

   It 
  is 
  a 
  young 
  bird, 
  very 
  difficult 
  to 
  determine, 
  but 
  Mr. 
  

   Hargitt 
  thinks 
  that 
  it 
  must 
  belong 
  to 
  C. 
  smithii.
