56. *GrKAMINICOLA STRIATA. 



Gramiaicola striata, Styan, Bull. B. O. C. vol. i. p. vi (1892) ; id. 

 Ibis, 1893, p. 427 ; Hartl. Abh. nat. Ver. Bremen, xiv. p. 350 

 (1898). 



A female specimen, collected by Whitehead, is in somewhat 

 worn plumage; it appears to be very closely allied to G. bmgalensis, 

 if, indeed, it is really distinct ; but the latter has the black on the 

 head and back more pronounced and the rufous edges to the 

 feathers less conspicuous. Many specimens of G. bengalensis have 

 the feathers of the rump more or less narrowly streaked with 

 black. I do not consider this character of much importance. 



" Iris brown ; bill dull pink, blackish along the culmen : feet
