 Adult. The colour of the upper surface is a beautiful mixture of 

 greyish isabelline, sandy buff, and blackish brown, the general 

 appearance being sandy isabelline ; on the top of the head and on 

 the scapulars larger blackish spots are developed, the tail is banded 

 with the same colour, the outer rectrices are more or less uniform 



* Koenig-Warth. J. f. O. 1868, p. 367, mentions an egg of Capr. fasciatus, 

 Hempr. & Ehr. and Thienem. MS., as probably belonging to C. eeggpfius. Herr 

 Matschie, of the Berlin Museum, kindly informs me that the egg mentioned 

 /. c. is not in the Museum, and that Hempr. & Ehr. did not collect any other 

 species of Goatsucker but C. infuscatus (nubicus). Therefore it is probable that 

 C. fasciatus is merely a lapsus calami for C. infuscatus.
