54<9quint Stray Feathers, Vol. I, p. 300; Murray's Vertebrate 

 Zoology of Sind, p. 153. 



Length, 6 ; wing, 1-9 ; tail, 275 ; bill at front, 0'45 ; tarsus, 07. 



Bill brown, pale fleshy on lower mandible ; legs pale fleshy. 



An obscure rufous-white streak from the nostrils to the upper 

 part of the eye ; the whole upper parts dull greyish olive- 

 brown (the grey preponderating on the head) ; all the feathers, 

 except those of the upper tail-coverts, conspicuously centred 

 with dark-brown; wings pale hair-brown, all the feathers 

 margined with rufescent-olive ; tail-feathers a sort of olive- 

 brown ; the feathers with conspicuously darker, very stiff looking 

 and glistening shafts ; all the feathers obsoletely transversely 

 rayed, the central ones most strongly so ; all but the central 

 ones narrowly tipped with fulvous- white, and with an obscure 

 subterminal dark band ; on the under surface the shafts are 

 white ; the ear-coverts mingled fulvous and pale rufous-brown, 

 the sides of the neck streaked like the back ; on either side of the 

 throat descends from the gape for about half an inch a band 

 of tiny feathers, white, with minute dark centres, so as to pro- 

 duce the appearance of two or three irregular rows of little 

 spots on each side of the throat ; the chin and the centre of 

 the throat, breast, and abdomen, white, tinged buffy on the 

 two latter, and with all the feathers of the throat and breast 

 very faintly and narrowly tipped with brown, so as to produce 

 the appearance of a number of narrow faint transverse bars ; 

 the flanks, sides, vent, and lower tail-coverts are tinged with 

 dull olive-brown, mingled with fulvous-buff; the tibial plumes 

 are fulvous-buff; the wing-lining is buffy-white, and so are the 

 inner margins of the inner webs of the quills as seen from 

 below. 



The specimen, of which the above is a description, was shot by 

 Mr. Blandford at Kurrachee.
