a Himalaya (N. C. Strickland) 1838. —b India (Askew) 
1839. — c Kordofan (J. Petherick ) 1848. 
The Kordofan specimen differs from Indian examples in having 
the forehead white instead of black, and were this character constant 
it would be justifiable to keep the North- African bird distinct under 
the name L. dealbatus, De Fil. Abyssinian examples, (L. fallax 
Finsch. & Hartl.), however, are intermediate, and it would seem as 
if one form passed gradually into the other.
