eastern Africa, in appearance like Cisticola schamicola, but with a narrow, 
longer, and more graduated tail, and brighter coloration. It still more 
resembles the Australian B. lineocapilla, Gould, but has longer tarsi and 
wings, and shorter and narrower rectrices. It cannot be confounded with any 
species of its own country. Id. Ibis, 1869, pp. 106, 107, pi. iii. fig. 1. Referred 
to Cisticola. Id. Orn. Nordost-Afr. i. p. 262.

[We cannot determine the priority of these two specific names ; the mere be- 
stowal of Dr. von Heuglin’s in 1856 goes for nothing, as no description was 
published with it.]
