564 Mr. L. B. Mouritz on the 



20.2. Zosterops anderssoni. Andersson's White-eye. 



I only met with this White- eye during June 1912, when 

 parties were to be found in the " isiqwalapa.'^ On one 

 occasion (I did not procure a , specimen), from a short 

 distance the eye-ring ajapeared to me to be distinctly yellow ! 



203. X Chalcomitra gutturalis. Scarlet-breasted Sunbird. 

 Cinnyris gutturalis (Linn.) ; Scl. i. p. 286. 



Sind. (?) " matungasweswi/'' a term also applied, to other 

 species. 



Common at times ; but, except in such places as the 

 Hotel gai'dens, never numerous. On the open veld it is 

 practically always found in the " mimosa*' scrub, or where 

 there is flowering vegetation. Both sexes have a very 

 sparrow-like chirp. 



204. J Cinnyris leucogaster. White-breasted. Sunbird. 

 The White-breasted Sunbird is very rare, and I have only 



met with it on one or two occasions. According to my 

 notes, its occurrence is confined to the hills between 

 Fortusher and the Mission Station. 



205. X Cinnyris mariquensis. Southern Bifasciated Sun- 

 bird. 



Not uncommon; but in common with all other Sunbirds, 

 subject to a great deal of local movement and but rarely 

 met with during the colder mouths. 



203. X Cinnyris chalybeus. Lesser Double-collared Sun- 

 bird. 



This is probably the commonest of the Sunbirds within 

 the hills, and is especially in evidence amongst the "isiqwa- 

 lapa." I have noticed it feeding in company with White- 

 eyes. 



207. :j: Parus cinerascens. Grey Titmouse. 



Parus afer Gmel. ; Scl. i. p. 305. 



The Grey Tit (grey above and below) is uncommon, but 

 I met with it on Lucydale in January and May. This 

 species was included in my Mangwe notes under the 

 misnomer P. afer.
