berg, as well as in the busli near Pretoria; at the last place 

 it was running up a tree. 



37. PsiTTACUS MEYERI. 



I saw several of the birds in the bush near Rustenberg, and 

 shot one. I have received them from Marico and from the 

 northern parts of the Transvaal. 



38. TURDUS LITSITSIRUPA. 



I shot one of these Thrushes amongst some brushwood 

 about twenty miles north of Potchefstroom. I have often 

 caught a glimpse of this bird in the underwood ; but it seems 

 to be rather shy in its habits. 



39. TuRDUS OLIVACEUS. 



This species is pretty plentiful in the bush at Macamac. I 

 had one given to me which was said to have been shot some- 

 where in the Potchefstroom district. I never observed any 

 in the Free State. 



40. CrATEROPUS JARDINII. 



I have seen this bird in the district of Potchefstroom_, but 

 never killed one myself. I was told by one of my men that 

 he had shot it not far from the river ; and I have seen a spe- 

 cimen said to have been procured at Marico. 



41. COSSYPHA CAFFRA. 



I received this species from Lydenburg, and saw a few at 

 Macamac. 



42. Saxicola bifasciata. 



But few specimens of this bird came under my notice. I 

 procured a male, however, on a journey from Potchefstroom 

 to Lydenburg ; it was flitting about the stones on a hill-side 

 near Wittewater Rand, I have since seen it between Pot- 

 chefstroom and Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, always on 

 elevations, and never on the plains. 



43. Pratincola torquata. 



I procured a female of this bird at Macamac, and received 

 a specimen from near Pretoria in 1874.
