This rare and interesting Pipit Avas met with by 

 Mr. Percival near the Tsavo River, and one example was 

 obtained at Nairobi. Nos. 241 to 243 are males, and are 

 moulting into the adult plumage ; the two others are quite 

 young birds. 



[Very common at one place near the Tsavo River; in 

 flight the yellow of the wing is very conspicuous. The 

 young bird marked No. 303 flew into my house at Nairobi.
