Poiocephalus meyeri virescens Rclmw. Vog. Afr. ii. p. 12

Herr Neumann describes this form as having the bluish 

 rump more green than in typical P. meyeri, while Dr. Reich- 

 enow says that in P. meyeri virescens the rump and upper 

 tail-coverts incline more to greenish. 



I do not understand what reasons have induced Dr. Reich- 

 enow to give a new name to this form already named by 

 Herr Neumann.
