* As regards the markings of the eyes in life, Mr. S. A. Neave, in a field-note attached to a ♂ specimen collected by him at Entebbe, Uganda Protectorate, 5. vii. 1911, writes:—“Eyes banded; blue and crimson below, dusky and grey above”; and Dr. R. Van Someren, in a note on a ♀ caught by him on the Luimi River, Toro, Uganda Protectorate, 22. i. 1911, says that the eye has “ a conspicuous, green, horizontal band.”
