Species 37. Cisticola Cinereola. Pl. III.

Another of the more recently discovered North-east African species: not a very small bird, but about the size of the Whitethroat (Sylvia communis) and of not very different proportions, only the tail noticeably shorter: an inhabitant, for (he most part, of thorn-bush country, with manners, so far as they are known, more or less Sylvia-like.
