316. EMAEGINATA CINEREA (Vieill.). 

 31GA EMARGINATA SCHLEGELII (Wahl.). 



Sharpe (Ibis, 1904, p. 325) distinguishes a smaller form of the 

 Grey Chat under the latter name ; it is light brownish grey with 

 the throat and breast delicate isabelline, and is confined to Damara- 

 land. E. cincrea is a larger bird, ashy grey in colour, with the 

 throat and breast light ashy grey; it is founded on the " Tractrac " 

 of Levaillant, and confined to Great Namaqualand. 



338A. BRADYORNIS GRISEA Eeichw. 



Sharpe (Ibis, 1900, p. 112) records this East African species from 

 Mapicuti, near Beira, and, somewhat doubtfully, from the Ivuna 

 Eiver in Zululand. It is closely allied to B. mariqucnsis, but paler 

 and greyer in general colour, the crown is always clearly streaked 

 with black, and the under-wing coverts are isabelline grey not white. 

 Wing about 3-25. 



344. CHLOROPETA ICTERINA Sundev. 



Sharpe (Bull. B. 0. C. xii. p. 35, 1901) has examined the type of 

 this species in the Stockholm Museum, and finds that it is merely 

 the young of C. natalensis. 



349 A. PACHYPRORA FRATRUM Shelley. 



This species was accidentally omitted from the second volume of 

 the Birds of South Africa. It was described by Shelley (Ibis, 1900, 

 p. 522) from two examples procured by Messrs. Woodward at St. 

 Lucia Bay, in Zululand. The bird was grey above with a black band 

 on either side of the head running through the eye, over which is 

 a narrow white eyebrow, below white with a crop band of chestnut. 

 It was stated by the collectors to be a male, but analogy would lead 

 us to believe it was really a female. 



353A. TROCHOCERCUS ALBONOTATUS Sharpe. 



An undoubted example of this species, procured by Mr. G. A. K. 

 Marshall in the Chirinde forest in December, 1901, at an elevation of 

 4,500 feet on the borders of the Melsetter district of Khodesia and 

 of Portuguese East Africa, was presented to the South African 

 Museum by the collector. It is the first record of the occurrence of 

 this East African species south of the Zambesi. 



T. albonotatus can be at once distinguished from T. cyanomclas, 

 the other South African species by the absence of the white spots on
