Guinea with S. p. centralis, or of considering it a distinct 
race distinguished 
from S. p. pulclira , by having the black bars on the back 
decidedly broader ; 
from S. p. zenkeri, by having a tail uniformly banded in 
black and chestnut, and by having the black bars 
of the back only three times as broad as the 
chestnut bars (instead of six times as broad), 
and by having a brighter chestnut head ; and 
from S. p. centralis . by having the chestnut of the head 
brighter.

Belgian Congo birds as distinct from centralis , we shall have 
the following races of S. pulclira :—
