No. 422. Juv. Ravine, Mau, Nov. 20, 1896. Iris brown ; 

 bill fleshy- white horn-colour, with dusky tip; feet dusky 

 horn-blue. The first seen since the beginning of May. These 

 birds are evidently on their way south.

No. 107. S' Ndeva, Teita, April 7, 1893. 



This Shrike is very common along the coast, west to Kili- 

 manjaro, and north to Machako^s. Although I have many 

 times found its nest with young, I have never seen the 

 egg. It appears to breed any time from April to September. 

 The nest is not unlike that of the Common Blackbird, and is 

 generally found in a thick thorn-bush from 5 to 10 feet from 

 the ground.

No. 71. S ad. Kibwezi, 3000 feet, March 31, 1892. 



This is another bird which is confined to the very dense 

 bush, and, though rarely seen, is decidedly plentiful. It has 

 a peculiar soft musical call, which, though difficult to describe, 

 when once heard cannot be mistaken.
