134 BIRDS OF DAMAEA LAND. 



C'ampephaya 7ii(/er, Layard's Cat. No. 296. 

 Campephaya nigra, Gray's Hand-list of Birds, No. 5058. 

 Lmiicterus niyer, Sharpe's Cat. No. 497. 



I first observed this species, though but very sparingly, 

 in the neighbourhood of the Okavango Eiver; but I never 

 saw it in Damara Land proper or in Great Namaqua 

 Land. It is a migratory bird, and I found it exceed- 

 ingly shy and difficult to approach. I generally observed 

 it moving about in the upper parts of large trees. 



[I have followed Mr. Layard and Mr. Gray, loc. cit., in re- 

 ferring Levaillant's Echenilleur jaune to the female of this 

 species ; but it is possible that it ought rather to be referred to 

 the female of C. melanoxantha, which closely resembles the 

 female of C. nigra ; this, however, is a point whicli must probably 

 remain an open one. Mr. H. B. Sharpe possesses a specimen of 

 this Caterpillar-eater, which was obtained by Mr. Andersson at 

 Elephant's Yley. — Ed.]

(female). 

 Ceblepi/ns pectoralis, Sharpe, in Ibis, 1870, p. 432. 

 Campephaya 2}ectoralis, Sharpe's Cat. No. 503. 



[Mr. Andersson^s last collection contained one specimen 

 of this species, a female, from Ovaquenyama, obtained June 25th, 

 18G7, which was described and figured by JNlr. Sharpe, loc. cit., 

 under the name of C. Anderssoni, but was subsequently identified 

 as a female example of C. pectoralis. — Ed.]
