Anomalospiza imberbis (Cab.) ; Shelley, B. Africa, iv. 

 pt. 1, p. 108, pi. xxxi. (1905). 



cJ. Bo, September 1903. Irides dark brown; upper 

 mandible horn- coloured, lower mandible dirty flesh-coloured; 

 feet and claws flesh-coloured. 



This bird was caught by natives with bird-lime at the edge 

 of a rice-farm. It is rare, but not so much so as to be un- 

 known to the natives. All efforts to obtain more specimens 

 or to get further information about it have, up to the time 

 of writing, been fruitless. 



140. Lamprocolius cupreicauda. 



Lamprocolius cupreicauda Hartl. ; Sharpe, Cat. B. xiii. 

 p. 184 (1890) ; Rcichen. Yog. Afrikas, ii. p. 684 (1903). 



cS . Bo, August 1903. Irides, bill, feet, and claws black. 



I obtained this Glossy Starling from the summit of a large 

 tree by the railway, half a mile west of Bo. It was by itself, 

 late in the afternoon, and kept making a single, rather 

 plaintive note. Since that time I have kept a sharp look- 

 out for more specimens, but without success. It must 

 therefore be considered to be only an occasional visitor. 



141. Onychognathus hartlaubi. 



Onycognathus hartlaubi Gray; Sharpe, Cat. B. xiii. p. 166 

 (1890). 



Onychognathus hartlaubi Reichen. Vog. Afrikas, ii. p. 702

 black. 



142. ClNNYRICINCLUS LEUCOGASTER. 



Pholidauges leucogaster (Gm.) ; Sharpe, Cat. B. xiii. p. 121 

 (1890).
