244. M. fas-cl-a'-t5. Lat. /;i,<;rm/».«, striped ; /7i.<!n'.s-, a bundle of fagots. The allusu. ■ is to the 



indistinct bands upon the tail feathers ; so obsulcte are they, in most cases, ti. ♦ it is 

 only recently that it has been admitted that this is the species described by Omelin. 

 But the markings are as obvious, in some eases, as those on the tail of Chatiuva /asciaUi. 

 The species is given as M. vulodia in the orig. ed. of the Check List.
