504 Mr. G. H. Gurney on 



87. Erithacus gutturalis. White-throated Robin. 

 Ei-ithacus gutturaHs (Guerin). 



Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 



The White-throated Robin was not often noticed owing to 

 its shy retiring habits; it was always seen creeping about in 

 the thickly-tangled undergrowth of the small ravines and 

 dongas. Two males and a female were shot at Kallima 

 Theki. 



88. Myrmecocichla cryptoleuca. Mountain Chat. 

 MyrmecocichJa cryptoleuca Sharpe. 



The Mountain Chat was a conspicuous bird at Naivasha, 

 where it was very common, generally in pairs, on the rough 

 ground at the east side of the lake ; they were tame and 

 fearless, and had a rapid flight, but never went far at a 

 time. 



89. Pratincola axillaris. West-African Stonechat. 

 Pratincolu axillaris Shelley. 



Iris brown; bill and legs black. 



The West-African Stonechat was only obtained at 

 Naivasha. 



90. Monticola saxatilis. Rock-Tlnush. 

 Monticola saxatilis (Linn.). 



Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 



The Rock-Thrush was common at Kallima Theki. 



91. Monticola rufocinkreus. Abyssinian Rock-Thrush. 

 Monticola rufocinereus (Riipp.). 



A female was shot at Naivasha on March 9th. 



92 Saxicola schalowi. Schalow's Wheatear. 



Saxicola schalowi Fischer & Reichen. 



I only met with this Chat at Naivasha, where it was the 

 commonest species of Wheatear and always to be found 

 perched conspicuously on a stone or rock, restlessly opening 

 and shutting its wings and flirting its tail or alternately 

 raising and depressing its whole bjdy.
