Achdt male. Entire plumage nearly uniform ash-colour, slightly 

 paler on the sides of the head, slightly browner on the crest, and 

 greyer on the mantle, wings, and tail, where it passes into dusky 

 brown on the outer wing-coverts, quills, and ends of the tail- 

 feathers, especially on the outer ones ; lower throat generally but 

 not always washed with olive-green : " bill and legs black ; iris 

 dark grey" {T. E. Buckhy). Total length 17 inches, culmen 1, 

 ■wing 8-5, tail 10, tarsus 1-55. 



Adult female. Similar in plumage to the male. Total length 

 15-6 inches, culmen I'D, wing 8-0, tail lO-Q, tarsus 1-45. 



Nab. Confined to the South-African Subregion and Angola ; 

 plentiful from the Zambesi to Natal, and from Damara-Land to 

 Angola, but rare in Cape Colony. Its occurrence in Senegambia as 

 recorded by Dr. llochebrune is undoubtedly an error.
