This specimen is particularly small, measuring as follows 

 in inches : — Wing 2'8, tail 2'5, culmen "65, tarsus '85. 



The outer margins of the secondaries are very distinctly 

 fringed with white. 



I have examined eleven other specimens from Abyssinia 

 and Somaliland, and although not one of tliem is so small 

 as tli is specimen, they are all small compared with examples 

 from South Europe and North Africa. The white margins of 

 the secondaries are not perhaps a constant character, but the 

 small size of the Somaliland and Abyssinian birds entitle them 

 to subspecific rank. Cabanis's description was based upon 

 a single specimen from Abyssinia.

This specimen is very small, but, I think, should be 

 referred to this species. It measures in inches as follows : — 

 "Wing 19, tail 1\2, culmen "6, tarsus '6.
