the P. meyeri group of Parrots, but is at once distinguislied 
by the grey^ not yellow, under wing-coverts, by the lighter 
grey of the head and throat, and by the black lores and 
space round the eyes, these parts being naked. — E.. B. S.]

Poeocephalus meyeri (Riipp.) ; Salvad. Cat. B. Brit. Mus. 
XX. p. 373 (1891) ; Sharpe, Ibis, 1892, p. 312 (Turquel) ; 
Neumann, J. f. O. 1899, p. 62 (Qua Mtessa, N. Uganda; 
Kwa KitotOj Kavirondo). 
No. 244. S ad. Elgeyu, 3700 feet, Aug. 13, 1896. 
Bill and feet dull slate-coloured ; iris crimson. Fairly 
plentiful. 
Nos. 257, 258. S imm. Elgeyu, 3700 feet, Aug. 14, 
1896. Iris dull yellow. 
[The Elgeyu birds seem to me to be identical with 
specimens previously procured by Mr. Jackson in the 
Turquel district : they cannot be separated from examples 
of the true P. meyeri, and the distribution assigned to the 
species by Mr. Oscar Neumann receives confirmation. The 
rump is green with a distinct cast of blue, and the under 
surface inclines to dark emerald-green. The young birds are 
paler than the adults, being lighter greyish brown, with 
a decidedly paler under sui'face. — E. B. S.]

black ; feet slate-coloured ; iris dark grey ; bare skin of face 
white. 
[There is considerable difference here in the tone of the grey 
plumage, one bird being decidedly darker than the other ; but 
there is no sign of any admixture of red plumes, such as is 
seen in Equatorial examples. — R. B. S.]
