[Prof. Reichenow suggests that the African form of 
Common Roller {Coracias garrulus) is distinct from the 
the European, as its head is more greenish and it has a 
greener tinge on the throat. I think that this is only 
because all the African birds are shot in the winter season. 
It is not the case that olive-green-headed birds are only 
to be found in Africa, for a greenish-headed specimen in 
the British Museum comes from Voronesch (Aug. 24), and 
one from Fao, killed by Mr. Cumming on the 26th of August,
