 to tbe tail ; lesser and median coverts like the back ; greater 

 eoverts, bastard-wing, primary-coverts, quills, and tail-featbers 

 blackish, externally slaty grey, rather browner on the inner 

 secondaries ; primaries with a large white patch, extending for 

 more than half of the outer web on the outer primaries and across 

 the base of the inner primaries ; the outer tail-feather white along 

 the outer web ; lores, sides of face, ear-coverts, and cheeks dusky 

 slate-colour : below the eye a white spot ; entire throab white ; 

 fore neck, breast, sides of body, and flanks clear slaty grey : 

 abdomen, thighs, and under tail-coverts white ; under wing-coverts 

 and axillaries white ; quills below dusky, the inner edge white :

Some specimens are browner than others, and show dusky shaft- 

 lines on the back. This is probably the plumage of the young 

 bird, but I have had no properly determined specimens before 

 me.
