specimens after the featheis had had time to become 

 bleached, they would have been identified as Hi par hi 

 FidUji'hi damcux'nHis, whicli is merely a ]>ale form of 

 Riparia fi(ligiila fulkjula. 



Bradoniis infuscatus — Ih-own Flycatcher. This lar^e 

 species is fairly common throughout the more open parts 

 of the Windhuk district; it is generally seen in pairs, 

 seated on the tops of bushes, and in general habits, 

 resembles a chat rather than a flycatcher. 



Mii.scicapd (jrisola — Si)otted Flycatcher. This 

 European species was fairly numerous at ^yindhuk dur- 

 ing the summer months. 



Bails pririi — Pririt Flycatcher. Led astray by an 

 error in Sclater's Key to the species of Bat is I recorded 

 B. >nf-l!{().r in previous lists I now find that all the Fly- 

 catchers of this grou}) I have collected should be referred 

 to B. pririi, T have not met with B. molitor, Sclater 

 states that inoH^nr may be distinguished from pririt 1)y 

 the webs of the outer tail feathers being white in the 

 former and black in the latter; this is a mistake as these 

 feathers have the outer web white in both species. 



Tchitrca piurnl)eiceps — Lead-Headed Paradise Fly- 

 catcher. In my Okanjande notes I recorded the sj)ecies 

 collected there as Tchirrea pcrspicilala : this was a mis- 

 take, the only species I met with in i<. W. Africa is 

 Teh ii)-i'a pluinhciccps. 



Peliciitins rcijloiuis — Bakbakiri Bush Shrike. I was 

 rather surprised to find this well-known bird amongst 

 some of the mountain kloofs in the Windhuk district, 

 wliere it was however by no means common. 



I might state here, with all due respect to those 

 naturalists who insist so sti-ictly on the rules of prjority 

 in scientific nomenclature, that it seems utterly '?.bsurd 

 to retain 'he name of zei/loiius for a bird which is strictly 

 South African, never has been and never will be found in 

 Ceylon. 



Lauius lii^hherti — Reichenow (Vogel Afrikas U. 

 P. GIO.) This species was described by Reichenow from
