The examples in the fine series of this Lark obtained by 
Mr. Hawker appear to agree with Dr. Reichenow^s description, 
and the species is certainly identical with the birds obtained 
by Lord Delamere in British East Africa and identified by 
Dr. Sharpe as M. albicauda. It is new to the British Museum 
Collection. We may mention that the amount of white in 
the outer tail-feathers varies : in some examples, as in the 
type, the two outer pairs are mostly white, and the fourth 
pair have the outer web margined with white ; in others only 
the outer pair of feathers are white and the fifth pair have 
the outer web mostly white, while in the fourth it is only 
margined with white.

This form is scarcely separable from P. smithi, of South- 
Africa, which has the bill slightly larger, but is in other 
respects similar,
