The type-specimen, an adult male in the British Museum 
Collection, obtained by Dr. Donaldson Smith at Ania, in 
Northern Somaliland, was hitherto the only example known. 
An adult female of this rare species was obtained by Mr. G. 
W. Bury further east, at Burao, and I have thought it of 
sufficient importance to describe it. This skin is in fine 
condition, the feathers being freshly moulted and con¬ 
siderably lighter in colour than in the type-specimen, the 
wing of which measures 2*5 inches. 
Adult female. Head, entire upper parts, and tail grey, 
slightly tinged with olive; sides of the face and lores light
