 in having tlie mantle more uniform olive, the markings 

 being only faintly indicated ; the top of the head is slightly 

 darker, and the under-surface is of a deeper tone, especially 

 on the chest. From /. e. ivillcocksi (which separates the 

 geographical distribution of the new race from that of 

 /. e. exilis) it differs in having a more uniform back and 

 considerably darker underparts, which are not streaked.

Adult male. Differs from /. e. exilis in having the upper- 

 parts less strongly mai'ked, the head paler grey without the 

 olive wash, and the whole under-surface greyer and paler. 

 From 7. e. poensis, to which it is very similar in colour, it 

 is distinguished by its much larger size.

Pogoniulus chrysoconus rliodesiae, subsp, n. 

 Adult male. Forehead-patch golden -yellow, similar in 

 colour to P. c. extoni, but perhaps on the average rather 

 larger ; rest of upper-parts similar to P. c. extoni. Throat 

 deeper whitish-green, breast and abdomen as in P. c. extoni, 

 but distinctly washed with yellow, much warmer and richer 

 in tone on comparison, but not in any way approaching the 

 bright greenish-yellow under-parts of P. c. centralis.
