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

 bv which it can be separated from 8. 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.
