Common throughout the highlands, but not observed 

 below 5,000 or 6,000 feet elevation. I did not meet 

 with this Thrush in the Anseba Valley. In the stomach 

 of specimens killed in February, I found various insects, 

 including ants. All the specimens collected are much 

 less rufous beneath than in Etippell's figure. 



In a male the wing measured 5'2 in., tail 2'9, tarsus 

 1*4 ; in a female, wing 4*3 in., tail 2'7, tarsus I'S in.

I obtained specimens of this Thrush at Senaf^, Adigrat, 

 and Lake Ashangi. At the latter locality it was not 

 rare. It was not seen away from the highlands, and in 

 the Anseba vaUey appeared to be replaced by T. pelios, 

 Bp., of which Mr. Jesse obtained specimens. A male 

 measures : — ^Wing 4'7 in., taU 4'1, tarsus 1'3 ; a female, 

 wing 4*4 in., taU, 3'75, tarsus 1'3 in.
