from Somaliland and Southern Abyssinia. 327 



thret'-Jifths of the outer webs of the secondaries are pure ivhite 

 to the shaft. In this respect it approaches L. hartlaubi 

 (Hengl.), but the differently-marked plumage of the upper 

 parts, as well as the black rump and tail, serve to distinguish 

 the latter species at a glance. Iris pale yellowish brown ; 

 bill dark ; legs pale yellowish white. Total length about 

 23 inches, culraen 195, wing 13"8, tail 7'Q, tarsus 5*1. 



The type is a male in the fullest adult plumage, and I 

 think there can be no doubt that it represents a perfectly 

 distinct species intermediate between L. melanoy aster and 

 L. hartlaubi.
