The Plate and description have both been taken from the specimen in the British 
Museum, which is the only one that we have seen. It was obtained from the Frankfort 
Museum. It is evidently a bird in immature plumage, and may possibly turn out to be the 
young of P. abyssinicus ; but as that point cannot be settled without a larger series, the 
colouring being very distinct, and the species having been accepted by most of the authorities 
on the Abyssinian avifauna, we have retained the name and figured it in a separate Plate.
