They measured 22 mm. by 16 and 15-5 respectively. The 

 bird sat lightly, flying down into the mud directly anyone 

 approached and thence back into the woods. 



The feet of this Robin-Chat are dnsky or brownish grey, in 

 one case purplish grey. The stomachs contained, in addition 

 to my list in the 'Ibis' for January 1907, larvae, grasshoppers, 

 wood-lice, ants, and berries of Celtis and Antidesma. Thirty- 

 seven specimens averaged in the flesh 7'96 inches, varying 

 from 7-15 to 8-8 inches in length. 



123. CossYPHA HUMERALis. Whitc-shouldered Robin- 

 Chat. 



Rh., P. One of these rare grey-and-wliite Robins was 

 brought to me on April 9th, 1906, having been trapped by 

 one of my cattle-herds near Chirinda. It measured 68 

 inches in the flesh ; bill black, feet blackish, irides dark 

 brown. And I again saw what I took to be one of these 

 birds in the grass-jungle bordering the Kurumadzi on 

 August 1st of the same year.

F. I saw three or four of these birds, always singly, at 

 deserted Kafir kraals when marching from the Idunda River 

 to Umhlonhlo, on December 20th. They were in every case 

 feeding on the ground and flew up into low trees on being 

 disturbed. I secured one specimen (No. 1182). This species 

 had been previously obtained on the Zambesi by Peters and 

 Alexander. 



125. Tarsiger stellatus. White-starred Bush-Robin. 



Rh., P. In August I found this Robin to be very common 

 in the dense bush of the lower Jihu, trapping several by 

 means of Melolonthid larvae. A number of immature birds 

 trapped in March had already practically completed the 

 change to adult plumage, but a winter brood is probably 

 sometimes produced, as I have trapped a young bird in com- 

 plete spotted plumage in July, and on August 10th I shot 

 a female with its ovaries very strongly developed. On the 

 20th of the same month I watched one catching driver-ants 

 {Anoiiuna sp.) in company with two Flycatchers ; in its
