This species is easily recoguised from M. c. cinerea, which 

 occurs in the same locality, by having only a trace of white 

 between the base of the bill and the eye, the plumes sur- 

 rounding the eye grey ; middle of the throat, middle of the 

 belly, and under tail-coverts white ; the rest of the plumage 

 rather dark grey; primary quills black, not edged with 

 white; the bill black, including the lower mandible, which 

 is not whitish or pale towards the base in dry skins. 



The wing measures : c? 70-73 mm. ; ? 68-72 mm. 



Hab. I have examined specimens from the following 

 localities: — Angola (typical), Gaboon, Cameroon, Gold 

 Coast, Nigeria, Ubangi and Welle Rivers, and Toro, 

 Uganda.
