 the very strong black markings on the chest and breast. Iris dark brown ; upper 

 mandible black, lower mandible brown; feet brown, pale brown, or pale flesh-colour.

[This very small Pipit was found only on the plains round the south end of 

 Ruwenzori, and did not ascend the mountains. It was not a common bird and most 

 difficult to procure, as it was impossible to see it while on the ground on account of 

 the long grass. It was very reluctant to take flight, but, when once on the wing, flew 

 with remarkable swiftness, usually rising to a considerable height and settling a long 

 way off.— R. B. W]
