Western Persia and Armenia. 89: 
Some little time ago Dr. Bianchi pointed out to me that 
the bird which I had identified somewhat doubtfully (‘Tbis,’ 
1908, p. 544) as a worn specimen of A. jerdoni was probably 
an example of this species. On a comparison with specimens 
in worn and in fresh plumage which Dr. Bianchi had pro- 
cured from the same locality, it became evident that this was 
so. A. jerdoni is closely allied to A. strophiatus, but somewhat 
paler; while A. ocu/aris is most nearly allied to the latter, 
from which it differs in the eye-streak being white throughout, 
in the head being more uniform, and in the buff-coloured 
pectoral band being more confluent and less clearly defined. 
The young birds obtained by Mr. Woosnam are like the 
old, but have the eye-streak less clearly defined and the 
breast heavily streaked with dark brown, while there is very 
little buff-colour on the breast.
