I only found this species in the northern parts of 

 Damara Land and after I had passed the northern 

 boundary of that country; it was very shy and never 

 plentiful. It hops about amongst the lower branches of 

 thickly foliaged trees, and is especially partial to "low 

 tangled brakes, where it searches incessantly for insects, 

 larvse, and caterpillars. 



[Mr. Layard, in the ' Ibis ' for 1870, p. 4G0, has shown that 

 this species is quite distinct from the longer- biUed P. tschagru
