The geueral colour of the upper parts is brown, the inner- 

 most secondaries, the quills, and the wing-coverts being narrowly 

 margined with brownish white. The cheeks, head, and nape are 

 brownish black. The tail is very dark brown, the outside tail- 

 feathers (which are much abraded) showing traces of having been 

 tipped vyith white. The general colour of the underparts is white, 

 shading into brown on the sides of the breast, flanks, axillaries, 

 and under tail-coverts. The bastard primary is between the eighth 

 and ninth in length. The bird is moulting some of the primaries 

 between third and the eighth. Both mandibles of the bill are 

 dark, and the tarsus and feet are dark slate-grey. The wing mea- 

 sures 2,52, and the tail 2,62. The culmen, which is slightly injured, 

 measures about 0,51 when perfect. 



Hab.: Kairo, Abyssinia (Brit. Mus.).
