not clear, as it is supposed to be the Western "geographical" 

 form o£ molitor, yet its identification is easy, although it 

 closely resembles the latter bird. A pair were discovered 

 nesting at Blue Krantz in January, and it was the difference 

 in the eggs that drew our attention to the bird. These were 

 "of a very blunt ' ovate ' shape ; the ground-colour is light bluish 

 green, spotted all over with brown and lavender, the spots 

 being generally fairly large with many small spots and dots 

 on the larger end, where they form a fairly well-marked zone. 

 They are slightly glossed and measure 16*5 x 13 mm." (H. G.) 



127. Trochocercus cyanomelas (VieilL). Blue-mantled 

 Flycatcher. 



Not common. 



128. Terpsiphone perspicillata (Swains.). Paradise 

 Flycatcher. 



Very common in the wooded valleys. We discovered no 

 less than five nests containing eggs on January 5th, 1907, 

 several being quite fresh. 



129. DiCRURiTS afer (Licht.). Fork-tailed Drongo. 

 Very common. Their eggs vary considerably in colour, 



shape, and size. In addition to those described by Stark, we 

 have taken pure white eggs. 



130. Campophaga nigra, Vieill. Black Cuckoo Shrike. 

 Fairly common. One egg from Grahamstown is of an 



' orate ^ shape; the ground-colour is light greenish-blue with a 

 slight tinge of yellow, fairly evenly spotted all over with dark 

 purple and dark lavender, the spots being roundish and the 

 largest about the size of a medium-sized pin's head ; the small 

 spots are numerous, there is but little indication of a zone, 

 and the slightly glossed ground-colour is not hidden by the 

 spots. Itmeasures24-75xl8mm. Fig. 9, Plate III. (H.G.) 



131. *Campophaga hartlaubi, Salvad. Yellow-shoul- 

 dered Cuckoo Shrike. 



Not common. Dr. Stark says the eggs are indis- 

 tinguishable from those of C. nigra, but in all clutches taken 

 by us the ground-colour is greyer. [They are usually of a
