Obs. This specimen was referred ('Ibis/ 1892, p. 302) to 

 Parisoma lugens (Riipp.), but the rediscovery of the true 

 P. Ivgens in Southern Abyssinia showed that the Elgon bird 

 was a distinct species, and the describer was indebted to 

 Mr. Ogilvie Grant for drawing his attention to the differences 

 in the two forms.
