BIRDS OF OKANJANHE AND OUTJO. C3 



80. Euroceplialus iingnitiniens — Smith's Wood- 

 Shrike. I nietwilh a few of these birds amongst the camel- 

 thorn trees in the Outjo district, but have not seen it at 

 Okanjande. 



90. Nilans hrubru — Bruhru Bush-Shrike. This species 

 was common at Okanjande during March and April, after 

 which it disappeared and I have not seen it since. 



91. Pomatorhynchus australis — Three - streaked 

 Bush-Shrike. Not uncommon, and closely resembling the 

 common seneoalus in call-notes and habits. 



92. Laniarius atrococcineus — Crimson - breasted 

 Bush-Shrike. Very common everywhere, and a most con- 

 spicuous bird, not trying to conceal itself in any way. The 

 Germans call it " the empire bird,'' as it has the three colours 

 of the German flag — black, white and red. 



93. Lanius minor — Lesser Grey Shrike. When I 

 arrived at Okanjande in March this species was very common, 

 but disappeared by the end of April. 



94. Lanius collurio — Red-backed Shrike. This species 

 vvas common at Okanjande and disappeared at the same time 

 as the previous species. 



95. Corvus scapulatus — Pied Crow. As is the rule 

 with this species, it is very local. I have not met with it at 

 Okanjande, but saw a few in the Outjo district. 



96. Heterocorax capensis — African Rook. Fairly 

 common throughout the district. 



97. Dicrurus afer — Fork-tailed Drongo. Common 

 everywhere, but its call-note seems slightly different from 

 what T have heard when in the eastern Cape Colony. 



98. Oriolus oriolus — Golden Oriole. I have seen only 

 a single specimen, a fine adult which I failed to secure. 



99. C r e a 1 p h o r a c a r u n c u 1 a t a — - Wattled Starling. 

 I saw a fair number of these birds during April at Okanjande.
