64 LT. C. G. FINCH-DAVIES ON THE 



100. Ginnyriciiiclus verreanxi — Plum-coloured Star- 

 ling. I met with a few flocks of this beautiful starliug at 

 Okanjande in April ; they appeared to be migrating in a 

 north-easterly direction. 



101. Lamprocolius phaMiicopterus bispecularis — 

 Lesser Red-shouldered Glossy Starling. Very connnon 

 everywhere, and to be seen in large flocks, especially round 

 farms and villages. 



102. Lamprotornis australis — Burchell's Glossy 

 Starling. Not uncommon amongst the large camel-thorn 

 trees along the water-courses. 



103. Textor niger — Buffalo Weaver. Not uncommon 

 at Okanjande, where its large untidy nest may be seen in 

 numbers in the large camel-thorn trees. 



104. Plocei passer mahali — White-crowned Weaver- 

 Bird. Very common everywhere. This bird has a very 

 sweet song, especially in the early morning and evening. 

 Some of the notes are very deep and mellow, and reminded 

 me strongly of those of a nightingale. It is otherwise 

 very noisy and pugnacious. 



105. Sporopipes squamifrons da mar en sis — 

 Damara Scaly-feathered Weaver. Very common every- 

 where. 



106. Ploceus cabanisi — Cabanis' Weaver. I have 

 seen a few black-t'aced weavers about, but have not l)een able 

 to secure a specimen ; I believe them to have belonged to 

 this species. 



107. Amadina erythrocephala — Red - headed 

 Weaver-Finch. Common everywhere. 



108. Pytilia afra — Red-faced Finch. Not uncommon, 

 found usually in pairs frequenting the undergrowth. 



109. Estrilda erythronotus — Black-cheeked W^ax- 

 bill. Not uncommon, going about in small family parties.
