Adult male and female. Iris light brown or dark brown ; bill brown or horn-colour ; 

 feet light or dark brown. 



Dr. Hartert has separated the Streaked Seed-eater from Ruwenzori under this 

 heading on account of its darker plumage. The upperparts are much darker brown 

 than in S. striolatus (Riipp.) ; the quills are margined on the outer web with olive- 

 brown tinged with green, instead of yellowish-green ; and the underparts are rufous- 

 buff instead of whitish-buff. 



The species was subsequently procured by Mr. Carruthers on the Mufumbiro 

 Volcanoes. 



Immature birds differ from the adult in having the underparts, especially the chin 

 and throat, washed with yellowish, and the middle of the belly streaked with black 

 like the rest of the underparts. 



[Grauer's Streaked Seed-eater was found on Ruwenzori from an elevation of 5500 ft. 

 up to 14,000 ft. It was most plentiful among the rough scrubby country just below 

 the forest-line. A good many were also met with in the swampy valleys in the Tree- 

 heath zone. — R. B. IF]
