The example obtained by Mr. Percival at Mombasa agrees 
entirely with Capt. Shelley’s description in the paper quoted 
above. The under parts and under tail-coverts are much less 
rufous than in the type-specimen from the same locality, 
which is in the British Museum.

159, 163, & 164.) 
The upper parts in this dark coastal form of Argya appear 
to be rather characteristic, and help to distinguish it from 
the allied forms A. rubiginosa and A. rufula. In the present 
specimens the general colour above is darker brown, with 
'well-marked dark shaft-streaks to the feathers of the crown, 
nape, and back, whereas these markings are scarcely apparent 
in the allied forms. The other distinguishing features, such 
as the chestnut colour of the lores, are given by Dr. Sharpe 
in his original description (cf. P. Z. S. 1895, p. 488).
