I have met with the Cut-throat everywhere in flocks, but I saw es¬ 
pecially very large flocks assembling in'many hundreds at Senar in March. 
One of the obtained male examples has the red neck-collar brillant rosy 
instead of crimson.

Pytelia citerior (nec Strickl.) Butler, Ibis, 1905. p. 321, 1908. p. 220. 
cf. Blue-Nile, 1 II. 1911. 
This Red-faced Finch I met with on one occasion, when we left 
Senga in the forest region bordering the Blue-Nile. 
My opinion is that this bird has nothing to do with P. citerior Strickl. 
(Tab. XI. fig. 5) of which we possess typical specimens in the Hungarian 
National Museum from Abessinia, furthermore it does not agree with 
P. soudanica, Sharpe, in which the red on the head only reaches to the 
front of the eye as in P. melba L. 
Allready Butler pointed out in his paper (Ibis, 1908. p. 220), that 
in «P. citerior» from Sudan besides the red surrounding the eyes* the breast 
and sides of body are sparsely barred with olive-brown, with a greenish 
suffusion, whilst the under tail-coverts are unbarred. 
The chest and sides of body in the true P. citerior from Abessinia 
are dense barred constructing white spots on the crop, whilst the under 
tail-coverts are barred.
