This is, no doubt, the S. emini, Hartl., but I can detect no character 

 bv which it can be separated from *S. salvadorii after comparing it 

 with three specimens of the latter, two from Benguela and one from 

 Mashoona land. The British Museum, since the acquisition of Mr. 

 Hume's valuable collection, contains a large series of S. spilonata, 

 from which the present species is barely separable, the Asiatic form 

 having the two centre tail-feathers generally much paler, and the 

 throat and sides of the head of a rather purer white.
