I am unable to appreciate the differences in size on which 
nay friend Mr. Hartert proposes to separate a race as P. f. 
pusilla. The specimen in Sir Harry Johnston's collection, 
as well as those presented by Lord Delamere and Emin 
Pasha, agree in measurements with others from Nigeria 
and the Gold Coast, aud I am afraid that Pyromelatia pusilla 
will not stand, even as a subspecies.
