The specimen in Mr. Jesse’s collection is an old male, and agrees exactly with the 
figure given by Naumann (tab. 79. f. 1). Heuglin’s R. pectoralis (Journ. f. Ornith. 
1863, p. 165), of which I have inspected the type specimens from the Bahr-el-ghasal, is 
nothing more than our R. phenicura. The male described by v. Heuglin has the black 
feathers on the throat and breast margined with white, as is often the case with 
specimens killed in the spring in Europe.—0. F. 
{Iris brown; beak black; legs and feet black. 
Common about Senafé and down the Sooroo Pass.—W. J.]

Not very plentiful anywhere where I passed, except near Kokai, where I fell in with

and never saw it again.—W. J.]
