The female is smaller in size, but in colour similar, except as regards the dark mark- 
ings on the tail-feathers, which are less decided, and on some feathers restricted to the 
outer web.—O. F. 
[Iris yellowish stone-colour; beak pale horn-colour; legs and feet whitish yellow. 
Localities: Ain, Azoos, Koomaylee, and Zoulla. I also saw its tracks between 
Gelamet and Rairo. The male is much larger than the female. I found them either 
in pairs or solitary—W. J.]

[Iris brown; beak halfway from base chrome-yellow, rest black; legs and feet chrome- 
yellow. 
These notes of iris and legs will be found to disagree with Riippell’s description ; so I 
can only suppose mine to have been taken from a young bird. I only saw this one 
specimen.-— IV. J.|
