coverts black, margined all round with white : quills black,
edged with white: the tail cuneiform; all the feathers white,
with the lhafts black: the legs lead-colour.
This fpecies is found at Senegal, and the Cape, of Good Hopei
alfo at Madagafear. At the firft-named' place it frequents the
borders of the rivers Gambia and Niger, and lives on flies,
like the reft of the genus.
The three birds defcribed in Brijfon *, here drawn together,
differ much in length ; but this arifes merely from the want or
prefence o f the two middle tail feathers, which alone are fifteen
inches in length.

Said by Sela to inhabit Brefil j but no one has brought it
from thence fince his time; it may therefore prove to be a mere
variety of the fpecies it is here joined to, and brought from the
fame place of the above birds, placed here as varieties. The
male is faid to be the dark-coloured, and the female the white
one j and that the laft is alfo fmaller than its mate.
