a. Mombasa. 



The example obtained by Mr. Percival at Mombasa agrees 

 entirely with Capt. Shelley's description in the paper quoted 

 above. The under parts and under tail-coverts are much less 

 rufous than in the type-specimen from the same locality, 

 which is in the British Museum.

The upper parts in this dark coastal form of Argya appear 

 to be rather characteristic, and help to distinguish it from 

 the allied forms A. rubiginosa and A. rufula. In the present 

 specimens the general colour above is darker brown, with 

 well-marked dark shaft-streaks to the feathers of the crown, 

 nape, and back, whereas these markings are scarcely apparent 

 in the allied forms. The other distinguishing features, such 

 as the chestnut colour of the lores, are given by Dr. Sharpe 

 in his original description (cf. P. Z. S. 1895, p. 488).
