from the boldly marked black and white stripes in / &var//antz.

fore neck and upper part of the chest in /& J/evail/ianti are 
represented by a much smaller patch, with the ground colour 
rufous and white The breast and under parts are buff barred 
with black, especially on the sides and flanks ; the chestnut 
markings, so conspicuous in / J/evazllant:, being at most 
merely represented by one or two scattered red spots on the
