SHORT CUTS BY BIRDS TO NECTARIES. 409 
LANIIDAE. 
1. Chlorophoneus olivaceus, Cab. Olive Bush-Shrike. 
PYCNONOTIDÆ. 
1. Pycnonotus layardi, Gurney. Black-capped Bulbul. 
2. Phyllostrophus milanjensis, Shelley. Milanji Bulbul. 
SYLVIIDÆ. 
1. Sylvia simplex, Lath. Garden Warbler. 
2. Phylloscopus trochilus, Boie. Willow-Wren. 
3. Prinia mystacea, Rüpp. Tawny-flanked Wren- Warbler. 
COLIIDAE. 
1. Colius striatus var. minor, Cab. Natal Speckled Mouse-bird. 
That is, 28 species of birds belonging to one Picarian and eight Passerine 
families. 
(В) The flowers of 7 species of plants, of 5 orders, were visited by birds 
other than sunbirds. They were 
Erythrina Humeana, Spreng.; Erythrina tomentosa, В. Br. ; Grevillea 
robusta, А. Cunn.; Grevillea Danksit, В. Br.; Kniphofia rhodesiana, 
Rendle; Eucalyptus ficifolia, F. Muell. ; and Leonotis mollissima, 
Gürke. 
All the flowers were also visited by insects, and these probably take some 
part т their pollination, but, with the exception of the Eucalyptus (visited 
by Pyenonotus layardi but pollinated chiefly, I think, at Chirinda by hive- 
bees and Sphingidæ), they were probably mainly ornithophilous. 
(y) Sunbirds, on the other hand, visited not less than 40 species of 19 
orders, and I could add still further to the list were my memory better. 
А large proportion were mainly entomophilous species. 
BixiNEX. Aberia macrocalyx, Oliver. 
MarvAcEX. Hibiscus spp. 
MELIACE#E. Melia Azedarach, Linn. 
RHAMNACEÆ. Helinus mystacinus, Е. Meyer, and Gouania longi- 
spicata, Engler. 
LEGUMINOSÆ. Phaseolus vulgaris, Linn. (on Mr. А. S. Gifford's 
authority), Erythrina Humeana, preng., Erythrina tomentosa, 
R. Br., and Calpurnia lasiogyne, E. Meyer. 
Rosacea. Peach (Prunus Persica, Stokes). 
MynrACcEX. Eucalyptus ficifolia, Е. Muell., and other Eucalypts, but 
I cannot remember details of the latter; Callistemon lanceolatus, 
DC.
