 Wings black barred with black-spotted bufE bands; the

 feathers black barred with pale buff; next pair black

 remaining feathers pale chestnut barred with black on the 

 inner webs, the barring least on the outer feathers. 



Though I obtained only these two examples (which were 

 flushed in little meadows of long grass amongst open forest 

 and scrub) the birds seem to be fairly common in the 

 neighbourhood, as Mr. W. J. F. Williamson's collectors.
