1. Cape Rock Thrush {Monticola rupestris). Inhabits stony locaHties 



and feeds on insects taken from the ground. 



2. Cape Thrush {Turd us olivaccus). Like others of the same genus, it 



hunts for insects under dead leaves and other rubbish. It sorne- 

 times does injury in orchards owing to its fondness for soft, ripe 

 fruits. 

 It is one of Nature's checks on the blood-sucking flies which cause 

 sleeping sickness and tse-tse fly disease.
