188. X Motacilla capensis. Cape Wagtail. 



Ilesiflent in small numbers and frequenting all suitable 

 localities, being most numerous in the valleys within the 

 hills. 



189. X Motacilla vidua. African Pied Wagtail. 



On November 20, 1910, 1 saw a couple on the Umzingwani 

 lliver, between Fortusher and the Northern Star Mine. 



190. Bndytes sp. 



I have twice noticed Yellow Wagtails during the autumn, 

 and they were jirobably referable to B.jiava Liuu. 



191. Anthus trivialis. Tree-Pipit. 



The Tree-Pipit occurred in small numbers during the 

 summer of 1912, and it will probably eventually prove a 

 regular visitant at this season. 



192. X Anthus rufulus cinnamoineus. Tawny Pipit. 

 Anthus rufulus Vieill. ; Scl. i. p. 251. 



Not uncommon, and resident. Within the hills it is 

 confined to the larger valleys. 



193. Anthus leucophrys. Plain-backed Pipit. 

 Anthus pyrrlionotus (Vieill.) ; Scl. i. p. 250. 



This Pipit, although I have not noticed it a great deal, is 

 probably not uncommou. I did not, however, observe it 

 within the hills. 



194. Macronyx capensis. Cape Longclaw. 

 Sind. " ligwenshi.^' 



Common in the open country to the north of the hills, but 

 I have not noticed it elsewhere. This Longclaw perches on 

 bushes, trees, or rocks indiscriminately ; in flight, the white- 

 tipped rectrices are very conspicuous. The female sits closely, 

 and I have known bird, nest, and eggs cut to pieces when 

 hay is being cut. A male shot on the 6th of February 

 measured: length 183 mm. ; wing 95; tail 69; tarsus 30'5 ; 

 culmen 16-5. This bird, apparently fully adult, differed 

 from the typical form insomuch that in the outer rectrices 

 the outer web was not wholly white (see text-figure 8).
