MiRAFRA AFRICANA HARTERTI, Subsp. n. 



Adult male and female. Similar to M. a. athi, Hartert, 

 from the Atlii Plains, and 31. a. dohertyi, Hartert, from 

 Kikuyu, but both the upper- and underparts are strongly 

 washed with rosy-buff. The bill is short, as in M. a. athi. 

 The head is uniformly striped, and does not show the large 

 chestnut patch on the hind crown which is so conspicuous 

 in M. a. tropicalis, Hartert. This last-named form may 

 further be distinguished by having the plumage of a more 

 brown or chestnut-colour, instead of buff washed with rosy. 



Hab. British East Africa from South Ukamba to Teita, 

 especially the districts of the Kiboko River and Simba 

 Station.
