[This species is allied to E. cinerea, but differs in its 

 blacker upper surface, the sides of the face being also 

 blackish like the head. The crown is of the same smoky- 

 black colour as the back. E. nigrescens has three pure white 

 outer tail-feathers, but in E. cinerea the outer tail-feathers 

 have dusky bases and the crown differs in colour from the 

 back. The new form may be allied to E. melanocepliala 

 Fischer & Reichen. (cf. Reichenow, Vog. Afrikas, vol. hi. 

 p. 604, pi. xxii.), but the outer tail-feathers are not entirely 

 white, but are blackish with white tips. — R, B. S.]
