and Nyasalaud, and Mr. Guy A. K. Marshall has recently 

 presented to the British Museum a male and female from 

 Salisbury, in Mashonaland^ in May and July, at 5000 feet 

 altitude. He remarks : — " Bill and legs blackish, iris brown. 

 The stomachs contained small coleoptera, grasshoppers, and 

 black ants.'" He shot the male off the summit of a high 

 tree, and found the female feeding on the banks of a stream, 

 but when disturbed she flew into a tree. 



39. SaXICOLA LIVINGSTONII. 



40. Thamnol^a arnotti, 

 Ikawa. 



This species is here recorded from Nyasaland for the first 

 time. It ranges southward into the Transvaal, westward 

 into Benguela, and northward into the Uniamwesi and 

 Ugogo countries. 



41. Muscicapa grisola. 



42. Hyliotis barboZvE. 



Hyliota barboza Hartl. J. f. O. 1883, p. 329 ; Sousa, Jorn. 

 Lisb. 1888, p. 222. 



Hyliota violacea (nee Verr.) Sharpe, Cat. B. M. iv. p. 248 ; 

 id. ed. Layard's B. S. Afr. pp. 336, 836 (1884). 



The collection contains an adult pair of this species, 

 probably from the Mambwe district. Otherwise the species 

 is known to me only by specimens from Benguela. 



J. and E. Verreaux's description of their H. violacea from 

 the Gaboon agrees perfectly with H. flavigastra, and not with 

 H. barhoza, as the following key will show : — 



a. A large patch of white ou the wing-coverts. 

 «\ No white showing beyond the wing-coverts. 



a^. Above glossy violet or blue-black Jlavigastra. 



b'^. Above brownish black, with little or no gloss .... australis. 



b^. Two inner quills with white outer edges barbozcs, 



b. No white on the wing nehrkorni.
