The pair of birds collected for Mr. McMillan certainly 
belong to the form procured by Mr. Neumann and 
referred by him to D. lepidus. The latter is described by 
Cabanis & Heine as having a broad postocular stripe lke 
D. abyssinicus, a point which was commented on by Hargitt 
[cf. Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xvii. p. 302 (1890)], but our birds 
shew no trace of any such marking. On the other hand, 
they are undoubtedly the same as D. simoni Grant, the type 
of which was procured by Lord Lovat at Konduro, South 
Abyssinia. This species has been doubtfully referred by 
Mr. Neumann to the synonymy of D. lepidus, but D. simont 
shews no trace of the wide postocular stripe said to be 
characteristic of the former.
