54 COLIUSPASSER HARTLAUBI 
webs of the greater coverts pale sandy buff and with edges of the same 
colour on the secondaries; under wing-coverts pale sandy buff, with black 
inner webs to some of the feathers, and a few next to the primaries entirely 
black like the remainder of the wings. Total length 10:2 inches, culmen 
0:65, wing 4:1, tail 6:0, tarsus 1-1. g, 9.02. Livingstonia (McClounie). 
Adult female. Very similar to that of C. macrocercus, with the same 
amount of yellow edges on the lesser wing-coverts ; but differs in having a 
large portion of the under wing-coverts black. From C. progne it differs in 
the black of the under wing-coverts not extending to the bend of the wing, 
and in the second primary reaching nearly to the end of the wing. Total 
length 6:4 inches, culmen 0:65, wing 3:6, tail 2-6, tarsus 1:05. ¢?, 9. 02. 
Livingstonia (McClounie). 
Male in winter plumage. Head, neck, body and tail as in the female; 
and the wings as in the full plumaged male. 9. 02. Livingstonia (McClounie). 
Fulleborn’s Marsh Whydah inhabits the Lake Nyasa 
district. The type, a male in full plumage, was discovered by 
Dr. Fulleborn at Tandala in about 9°S. lat. 34° EK. long. There 
are now in the British Museum the three specimens I have 
described; these were collected by Mr. McClounie in Living- 
stonia to the south of Lake Nyasa. One of the characters 
of the species is that the tail-feathers are peculiarly narrow, 
being scarcely half so broad as in C. hartlaubt.
