and shorter tail ! The edges of the quills are darker cinnamon, thighs and sides 

 of abdomen brighter and darker cinnamomeous. Moreover, while the South 

 African form has a distinct breeding and off-plumage, these do not seem to differ 

 at all in P. m. grmieri. From P. m. tendla of the coastal belt of British East 

 Africa (terra typica Mombasa), which has a similarly strong bill, in longer wing 

 and deeper rufous-cinnamon flanks and thighs. From the inland East African 

 form, which is not the same as tendla, it differs in its stronger bill, generally 

 shorter tail, and brighter flanks and thighs. Both tendla and the inland East 

 African form have only one plumage. P mistacea mistacea (Abyssinia) has finer 

 biU, darker brown upperside even in the " winter " plumage, less rufous wing- 

 edges and sides of abdomen. The two plumages are distinct in P. m. mistacea. 

 Wings of P. m. graueri : ^, 54-5-56 ; $, 51-53 mm.

* Though I follow the Hand-list of Sharpe, on the whole, because a list according to my system 

 does not exist, I deviated here and in some other cases. PhylUrgatis is a close ally of Orthotomut 

 and will be placed near the latter.
