during a journey to the Matabili Country. Z77 



b, ? . Transvaal, July 16, 1873. 



Very common in the bush-country north of Pretoria, up to 

 the Matabili country. Its note and habits were the same as 

 the West- African L. barbarus. 



Lanius collurio, L. 



c? $ . Limpopo, November 1873. 



Common south of Bamangwato on our return journey ; it 

 is probably only a summer migrant.

 Beak black ; legs grey ; iris purple. 



b, 2 • Grooqui River, Bamangwato, August 25th, 1873. 

 Soft parts as above. 



Fairly common tliroughout Bamangwato ; in its habits it was 

 identical with those I met with on the west coast in Fantee. 



The female specimen is in the brown-headed plumage de- 

 scribed by Smith as Telephonus trivirgatus. She is much 

 smaller than the male ; but I could not quite determine whether 

 she belonged to a different species, as I shot both birds in the 

 same country, and their habits were the same. 



EUROCEPHALUS ANGUITIMENS, Smith. 



^ . Towanni River, Bamangwato, October 23rd, 1873. 



Beak black ; legs dark brown ; iris dark hazel. 



Found in the Bamangwato and Matabili countries. I only 

 observed this fine Shrike on two or three occasions ; at one time 

 there were three or four of them together, hawking after insects 

 apparently, and returning to the same branch, like a Fly- 

 catcher. They were rather shy, and it was some time before 

 I secured one. Their flight is undulating, 



Urolestes cissoides (Licht.).
