"SBy no means rare on the highlands, and found as low 

 as about 4,500 feet. It appears to be a permanent 

 resident, as I saw it on the hills close to the Anseba 

 valley in pairs, in July. The female is much greyer 

 than the male. It has very much the habits of a Eed- 

 start, and is, in coloration also, a connecting link between 

 the Ruticillince and the true Thrushes. It is in no way 

 a Saxicola, nor, I think, a Tha/mnoloBa either. In the 

 stomach were small insects. Measurements : —
