97. Prinia mystacea, Riipp. Tawny-flanked Wren 

 Warbler. 



Not uncommon at times. This is a new record for Cape 

 Colony. It breeds near Grahamstown. 



98. *Spiloptila ocqlaria (Smith). Rii£ous-eared Wren 

 Warbler. 



Scarce.

100. CiSTicoLAABERRANS (Smith). Smith's Grass Warbler. 

 Not uncommon. 



101. CiSTicoLA TERRESTRis (Smith). Wren Grass

103. Sphenceacus intermedius, Shelley. Eastern Province 

 Grass Bird.

104. TiTRDUS OLIVACEUS, Linn. Cape Thrush. 

 Common. 



105. MoNTicoLA RUPESTRis (VieilL). Gape Rock Thrush. 

 Very common ; affecting the rocky krantzes and hill-sides. 



106. MoNTicoLA EXPLORATOR (VieilL). Sentinel Rock 

 Thrush. 



Common ; affecting similar localities to the foregoing 

 species. Its eggs are, as Stark says, very similar to those of 

 M. rupestris, being, however, a little smaller. It seems hardly 

 feasible to us that this bird, closely allied to rupestris as it is, 

 should lay blue eggs (as described by Major Sparrow), which 

 are characteristic of the Chats.
