210. Parus ciNERAscENs. Sent from Colesberg by Mi'.Ort- 

 lepp. Le Vaillant's figures (Ois. d'Afr. iii. pi. 138) are much 

 too highly coloured. 



219. MoTACiLLA CAPENSis. The yellow Wagtail mentioned 

 under my notice of this species (B. S. Afr. p. 119) has again 

 turned up near Cape Town. A fine example was shot by Mr. 

 Duminy near D'UrbaUj twelve miles ofi". On comparing it with 

 examples of M. flava from Europe, in the Museum, it seems to 

 be identical, the yellow eye-brow, however, being hardly so 

 perceptible. 



220. MoTACiLLA LONGiCAUDA. Mr. Glauvillc, the curator 

 of the Albany Museum at Graham's Town, informs me that a 

 specimen of this bird has been lately procured near that place. 



231. Anthus lineiventris [Sundev. (Efv. K. Vet. Ak. Forh. 

 1850, p. 100]. Mr. Ortlepp has procured several of these 

 Pipits at Colesberg. A remarkable feature has been omitted 

 from my description, owing to the imperfect state of the soli- 

 tary specimen that had then reached my hands. The inside 

 edge of the flexure of the wing and the under wing-coverts are 

 bright yellow. 



234. CHiETOPS FRENATUS. Mr. Atmore says that this bird 

 is common on all the mountains that he has ascended, and that 

 it builds in crevices. The eggs are like those of Bessornis pha>- 

 nicurus. I lately saw a single specimen cross the road through 

 Houwhoek, a mountain-pass about forty miles from this, and 

 speed up the mountain with its usual enormous bounds. 



258. Criniger importunus. According to Mr. Atmore, it 

 builds near the ground, audits eggs are like those of Telephonus 

 collar is. 



265. Pycnonotus aurigularis. Mr, Atmore, whose voca- 

 tion as a surveyor has led him to be abroad constantly in 

 Outeniqua (the locality given by Le Vaillant for it), says he never 

 saw anything at all like this bird. 



281. Muscicapa grisola. My son has procured this species 

 at Grootevadersbosch, near Swellendam. 



319. Laniarius silens. Mr. Ortlepp says, " found about
