632 Messrs. Ogilvie-Graiit and Reid on Birds 



Collection wroDgly ideDtified as ikf. feldegyi — one obtained 

 at Etawali and the other at Sambhur. The male bird in 

 Mr. Pease's collection, Avhich is in almost full breeding- 

 plumage, though the crown is not yet entirely in the black 

 state, differs from all the three specimens in the collection in 

 having the thighs yellow instead of ashy white ; the miniature 

 female has the thighs of the latter colour. In every other 

 respect the male from Abyssinia agrees closely with M. para- 

 dox a, and we have no hesitation in referring it to this form.
