Only one specimen seen. So far as I could judge, the 

 habits of this Sun-bird differ little from those of Cinnyris 

 habessinicus.

This little Sun-bird was very plentiful on the foot-hills of 

 the Goulis and out on the Gooban towards the end of 

 March. I think it must have been migrating northwards, 

 as I had never previously noticed it in Somaliland.

Met with on several occasions in small families. Its note 

 ai.d habits are thoroughly characteristic of the Tit tribe. 

 On March 23rd I found a pair nesting in a small hole in a 

 tree about 20 feet from the ground.

This Shrike is to be found from Berbera itself to the top 

 of Wagga Mountain. It is fairly plentiful and, from its bold 

 colouring and its habit of choosing the topmost bough of a 

 bush or tree as a resting-place, it is always a most conspicuous 

 object in the bird-life of the country.
