506 Mr. G. H. Gurney on 



The Brown-beaded Chat-Thrush was a commou species at 

 Kallima Theki, and a long series, which shewed a consider- 

 able amount of variation, was obtained. 



98. Bradyornis pumilio. Grey Robin-Shrike. 

 Bradyornis pumilio Sharpe. 



Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 



A secretive, lurking bird, always difficult to obtain, of 

 which only two examples were shot, both at Kallima Theki. 



99. Bradyornis grisea. 

 Bradyornis grisea Reichen. 



Examples of this common bird were obtained on the Athi 

 River and at Kapiti. 



100. Bradyornis ater. Black Flycatcher. 

 Bradyornis ater Sundev. 



Bill and legs black. 



Widely distributed, but in my experience an uncommon 

 species. 



101. DioPTRouxis FiscHERi. Fisclicr's Robin-Shrike. 

 Dioptrurnis jischeri Fischer & Reichen. 



Iris brown; bill horn-blue; feet black. 

 Fischer's Robin-Shrike was fairly common wherever we 

 went, in suitable localities. 



102. Batis puella. Sylph-like Flycatcher. 

 Batis piiella Reichen. 



Bill and legs black. 



This Flycatcher was seen amongst the tops of the tall trees. 

 It had a harsh, rather discordant little song, and seemed to 

 be of a quarrelsome disposition, as I saw it fly out and 

 attack another of its own species, almost in the same way as 

 a Drongo or Shrike would. 



103. Terpsiphone suahelica. East-African Paradise 

 Flycatcher. 



Terpsiphone perspicillata suahelica Reichen. 

 Iris brown, eyelids blue ; bill and legs slate-coloured. 

 The Paradise Flycatcher was generally obtained amongst 

 high trees and always in the vicinity of water.
