Bill dark horn colored ; orbits and cere inclined to orange ; 
front, crown, neck, interscapulars, and back fine gray ; shoul- 
ders and scapulars the same, slightly variegated, however, by 
narrow dusky lines, and most of the latter besides have also 
a large black blotch towards their tips. Primary wing coverts 
dark gray, each with a large black blotch towards the tip, 
which last in all of them is white; secondary coverts the 
same, only the gray is a little lighter. Primary wing feather 
gray towards quills, elsewhere shining black, with the ex- 
ception of some of the innermost, which are white ; seconda- 
ries principally gray, having each a broad black bar towards 
tip, which itself is white. Tail long, rounded, shining green- 
ish black, with a broad band of white mottled with black 
towards its extremity, and the apices of all the feathers 
white, as well as a little of the vanes of each towards quills; 
chin, throat, and breast an uniform fine gray; belly, vent, 
insides of shoulders, hinder part of back, and whole of thighs 
finely marked with transverse black and white lines; tarsi and 
toes yellowish brown; claws dark horn colored. Length two 
feet four inches. Found, though very seldom, in the eastern 
districts of the colony and in Caffreland, as also in Madagascar. 
Obs.—Some years ago I saw a specimen of this species, 
though in a very different plumage, viz. chiefly brown ; which 
was, doubtless, either a young bird, or else the female, if her 
color differs from the male.
