Type : ^, Kikiiyu Escarpment (not Mau Escarpment !), 8,000 feet, September 

 1900. W. Doherty leg. 



(I have compared the type of R. ducis Reichenow and find that it must be 

 the same as my dohertyi, as suggested by Reichenow, Journ. f. Orn. 1918, p. 76. 

 The original examples from Escarpment, Kikujru Mts. (not Mau !), are smaller, 

 but specimens collected by van Someren at Nairobi, Kisumu, Nakuru, have 

 partially longer wings, up to 104 mm., while the left wing of the type of ducis 

 is barely 106 mm., which is hardly a difference worth considering.)

Type: (J ad., Schubbain West Kaffa, South Aethiopia, ll.iv.l901. Oscar 

 Neumann leg. 



(This form requires confirmation. The rufous colour on the forehead and 

 throat is, in my opinion, not different from that of some lucida, collected by 

 Ansorge at Cachen and Gunnal in Portuguese Guinea, and the more purple colour 

 of the upperside appears to be the only difference.)
