MuscicAPA c.ERULEScExs. (Blue-grcy Flycatcher.) 



Op. cit. p. 340. 



Common J it makes a grass nest in holes in trees. 



Platystira peltata. (Green-throated Flycatcher.) 



Op. cit. p. 345. 



This is apparently Layard and Sharpens Green-throated 

 Flycatcher {Platystira peltata). We shot two specimens ; 

 they measured five inches in length, rather larger than the 

 size given by Layard and Sharpe. 



This is the first time we have met this bird ; it seems to 

 keep to the undergrowth. Its only note appears to be a low 

 whistle. The bright scarlet wattle above the eyes is very 

 conspicuous. 



Pachyprora molitor. (White-flanked Flycatcher.) 

 Op. cit. p. 348. 

 Common in this district. 



Pachyprora fratrum Shelley.* 



A Flycatcher new to us_, evidently nearly allied to tlie above. 



* [Capt. Shelley agrees with Messrs. Woodward in referring these 

 specimens to a new species, and describes it as follows : — 



" Pachyprora fbatrum, sp. nov. 



" Most nearly allied to P. mixta Shelley (P. Z. S. 1889, p. 359, pi. xl.), 

 and, with the exception of the chestnut crop-hand, agrees well with the 

 plumage of the adult male of that species. 



" This species belongs to the group characterized by having the under 

 wiug-coverts white, -with a black patch next to the bend of the wing, 

 to Avhich P. capensis and P. dimorpha should also be referred. It is 

 probably an adult female, as it has the crop-band chestnut, and diflers 

 from the females of all the other known species in having the throat 

 above the crop-baud entirely pure white, and from the females of the
