 albido, conspiciie cinereo lavato ; macula anteapicali nigri- 

 cante ; gastrseo albido, lateraliter olivaceo fulvescente tincto ; 

 subalaribus fulvidis ; tibialibus ex olivaceo rufescentibus ; 

 rostro corneo-fusco, dimidio basali mandibulse flavicante : 

 pedibus cerino rubellis. 

 Long. tot. circa 4|", rostr. a fr. vix 5'", al. 2", caud. 2" 1'", 

 tars. 9i"'. 



Exceedingly like Drymceca cantons ; the bill rather stronger ; 

 above in general much more brightly coloured, and the mantle 

 without any trace of streaking, although the specimen de- 

 scribed appears to have freshly moulted. The wing-coverts and 

 tertials, moreover, show a perfectly different coloration : with a 

 tolerably deep smoky ground, they are rather broadly (but not 

 sharply) bordered with ferruginous, and exhibit no broad, dark 

 spots on the shaft. 



From North-east Africa, probably from the White Nile (cer- 

 tainly not from Abyssinia). In the Berlin Museum.
