XIX. — On a Collection of Birds made by Mr. J. S. Jameson in 

 South-eastern Africa, with Notes by Mr. T. Ay res. By 

 Captain G. E. Shelley. 



(Plate VII.) 



Mr. Jameson has asked me to describe this fine collection, 

 and has also lent me a most interesting book of notes made 

 by Mr. T. Ayres, so well known to readers of ' The Ibis ' as 

 an accurate observer of birds, who accompanied the expedi- 

 tion. From them I have made many extracts. 



As regards the classification, 1 shall follow that adopted 

 by Mr. R. B. Sharpe in his new edition of Layard^s ' Birds 

 of South Africa.' 



Mr. Ayres gives the following list of localities mentioned 

 in his notes, which I fancy will prove of some service to the 

 readers of this communication : —
