lower surface, and the disc hasa good deal of white ; the 
scapulars are white externally with black tips; and the bars on 
the quills and tail feathers are more distinct brown and mottled. 
I obtained a specimen of this bird at Khandalla, but I identi- 
fied it as H. pennatus, in the rufous phase.

The lores, a line over the eye, a broad line under the eye, and 
a triangular patch immediately behind the eye, white ; the bristles 
of the lores, with the terminal halves, black ; the longest bristles 
reach just to the tip of the bill. From the gape, runs a stripe 
backwards, enveloping the whole of the ear-coverts, in color a 
rather dark earth-brown, obsoletely barred with albescent ; chin 
and throat, and the sides of the lower mandible, below the stripe 
above mentioned, pure white ; across this from the base of the 
lower mandible, on one side tothe base on the otherruns a 
conspicuous, transverse, dark-brown band, Forehead, top, and 
back of the head, back, and sides of the neck, scapulars, and 
interscapulary region an uniform rather dark earth brown; on 
lifting the feathers of the back of the neck and on lifting the 
scapulars, each feather is found to have a white bar about mid- 
way between base and tip, or in some cases nearer the tip, but 
these are not visible when the feathers are in repose. The 
wings are hair-brown, darkest on the primaries, secondaries and 
their greater coverts, and more nearly concolorous with the 
scapulars, on the lesser and median coverts, and tertiaries, 
All the quills have four or five conspicuous white spots on the 
outer webs, and corresponding imperfect bars (not quite reaching 
to the shafts) on the inner webs, which bars are pale brown 
towards the tips, and higher up pure white. The winglet, which 
is almost blackish brown, is similarly marked. The primary 
greater coverts similar, the rest of the greater, and some of the 
median-coverts, with very large conspicuous white spots near the 
tips on the outer webs. The lesser-coverts and most of the 
median unspotted ; rump and upper tail-coverts, uniform brown, 
rather darker than the interscapulary region, some of them exhi- 
biting, when lifted, a concealed white bar as in the scapulars. 
Tail hair brown, tipped white, and with three conspicuous trans- 
verse white bars, a fourth, aless perfect one, concealed by the 
upper tail-coverts. The breast feathers are mostly white, but 
are broadly tipped with hair-brown, which, owing to the overlap- 
ping of the feathers, is what is chiefly seen. The sides of the 
breast of this same color, but with traces of white bands well 
inside the tips, and not noticeable till the feathers are lifted.
