This species goes in small families. It runs about on the 

 ground among the bushes, and only takes short flights when 

 disturbed. 



56. Apalis viridiceps. (Plate II. fig. 1.) 



Apalis viridiceps Hawker, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, vii. p. Iv. 



Nos. 76, 77. c? ? • Sheikh Wufli, Nov. 28, 1897. Feet 

 brown ; bill black ; irides light hazel. 



This little species is evidently closely allied to Apalis flavo- 

 cincta (Sharpe), figured by Dr. Reicheuow in his 'Vogel 

 Deutsch. Ost-Afrika's ' (p. 224, fig. 100), but it differs in 

 having the head green instead of grey. 



I procured only two specimens of the bird, and did not 

 notice any others. 



57. CisTicoLA TERRESTRis (Smith) ; Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. 

 Mus. vii. p. 266 (1883). 



No. 154. ? . Ujawaji, Dec. 16, 1897. Feet pale ; bill 

 dusky ; irides light brown. 



Nos. 194-196. S- Makanis, Jan. 12, 1898. Feet and 

 bill pale ; irides light hazel. 



These specimens agree with South-African examples of 

 C. terrestris, and not with C. Jiindii Sharpe (Bull. Brit. Orn. 

 Club, vi. p. vii) from Machakos. 



I saw this species only west of Ujawaji,

This species was rather common. It is a shy little bird 

 and keeps under the bushes.
