 distinguishable black shaft-linos ; scapulars like the back, but with 

 more distinct black centres ; lower back and rump ashy brown ; 

 upper tail-coverts olive-yellow; wing-coverts blackish brown, the 

 lesser series edged with olive-yellow ; the median and greater series

" Similar to H. yuerini, but with the head and abdomen more yellow. Total 

 length Go inches, wing 3 4, tail 2-1, bill 065, tarsus 0'9." {Bocaye.) 



Hah. Caconda, Benguela. 



Captain Shelley has uuited this species to H. haglafechf, but I think it 

 probable that it will prove to be distinct, as the range of H. haglafecht is so 

 restricted to N.E. Africa that I cannot believe the Benguela bird can possibly 

 be the same. 



+ This is described from Emin Pasha's MSS. by Dr. Hartlaub, and is com- 

 pared with H. emini, but I perceive no characters whereby it can be distin- 

 guished from H. hatjlaftcht. The original specimen is lost.
