Mr. F. J. Jackson, in his paper quoted above, gives a 
review of the genus Sigmodus. In the three specimens 
which Mr. Percival obtained, those from Kilimanjaro shew 
faint spots on the primaries, whereas in the example 
from Shimoni none are apparent. All the specimens in 
the British Museum from Nyasaland, the Zambesi River, 
Angoniland, and Oliphant’s River have the white bar on the 
primaries much pronounced. 
[This bird was rare, one party of ten or twelve was seen 
at Takaungu, and one was obtained at Shimoni, near 
Mt. Kilimanjaro, where it seemed to be much more plentiful.
