Crown grey ; a partial white eyebrow surmounting a black 

 patch in front of the eye; back and wings olive-brown; 

 remainder of plumage bright orange-chestnut, with the centime 

 of the breast white. Total length 6 5 inches, wiug 3'25. 



Hitherto this species was known to me only by the de- 

 scription and good figure of the type specimen (Bocage, Orn. 

 Angola, p. 259, pi. ii. fig. 1), which was met with at Biballa, 

 in Benguela, and I do not know of any other specimen 

 having been recorded. It is not a true Cossypha, but has 

 the tail entirely uniform orange-rufous, a well-marked cha- 

 racter of Cichladusa. 



34. Cossypha heuglini.
