Adult female. Differs in having the sides of the head grey like the crown,
and the entire throat white. Wing 1-8. Biballa (Anchieta).
Bocage's Waxbill inhabits Mossamedes.
The types, a male and female, were discovered by Anchieta
at Huilla and Biballa, and through the kindness of my friend,
Prof. Barbaza du Bocage, I have been enabled to describe and
figure these specimens.

2. Lagonosticta cinereovinacea.

COCCOPYGIA QUARTINEA 237
Adults. Similar to the female of C. dufresnei, from which it differs
in having the centre of the breast and abdomen bright sulphur yellow and
the under tail-coverts of a slightly more sandy shade. Iris red; upper
mandible black, lower one red; feet black. Total length 4 inches, culmen
0-35, wing 1-9, tail 1-6, tarsus, 0-55. $ , 4. 1. 99, Chelungo (Lovat), and ? ,
3. 1. 03, Adis Ababa (Pease).
The Quartinea Waxbills inhabits North-east Africa.
The possibility of this species having been met with in
Senegambia rests on the very doubtful authority of M. Roche-
brune, and upon the probability of his Estrelda savatieri being
founded on a specimen of this Waxbill. Heuglin's specimens
came from Anseba, Tigre, Semien, Gronda and Wologalla, and
finding that the sexes were alike in plumage he gave them the
name Estrelda ernesti, under the impression that the sexes of
G. qnartinia (Bp.) differed in the same manner as in C. dufresnei
(Vieill.).
