This species is new to the British Museum Collection. It belongs 

 apparently to the genus Galerita, being slightly crested, and it has 

 the bastard primary short, only just extending beyond the primary- 

 coverts, while in plumage it much resembles G. cristata.

This is an adult male with no white edges to the tail-feathers ; in 

 this character, and indeed in all other respects, it agrees perfectly 

 with a Damara specimen in the British Museum, so that I cannot 

 admit that there are any constant local races of this species.

This species has been well figured by Dr. Hartlaub, and is quite 

 distinct from ^. capensis, of which it is the northern representative.

Like the last, this species is new to the British Museum. It 

 comes nearest to ^. caroli, Sharpe, from which it may be readily dis- 

 tinguished by its hoary white throat and chest, and the abdomen 

 only tinted with rufous buff. The forehead is uniform with the 

 upper parts, and the sexes are similar in plumage.
