272 BIRDS OF THE 
number of tail-feathers, which is said by Sharpe to be 
thirty-two in the male and twenty-eight in the female, 
I can say that it is thirty in males and females. The outer- 
most as well as the innermost tail-feathers are shorter than 
the neighbouring one, while the seventh or eighth pair are 
the longest. The longer upper tail-coverts in the adult male 
are pure white and rather long and nearly halfway covering 
the tail-feathers. The wings are strongly rounded, and the 
primaries are surpassing the secondaries by not more than 
10—20 cm. in the male, while in the female they are 
nearly covered by the secondaries.

expedition, have been snared by the natives.
