[This species seems to be very distinct, and I cannot find 

 any description which agrees with it. The dusky head and 

 grey face with the lighter grey throat and breast, in contrast 

 with the rufescent-brown flanks, appear to me to constitute 

 remarkable characters. I have named the species after 

 Mr. Jackson.— R. B. S.]
