188 Mr. C. G. Davies on Binls observed 



78. OoRSYPHA BicoLOR. Noisv Robin Chat. 



I shot one specimen in the thick bush at Port St. Johns in 

 June 1905. This is the only one I have seen. 



79. CossYPHA NATALENSis. Natal Robin Chat. 

 Ad. S. 



Not uncommon. T have not seen one before. This speci- 

 men was in some thick undergrowth, making a curious noise 

 of two notes, something like that of a tree-frog. 



80. CossYPHA CAFFRA. Cape Robin Chat. 

 Not very common, but generally distributed. 



81. CossYPHA siGNATA. Brown Robin Chat. 

 Not common. Ad. S . Port St. Johns, 11.4.07. 



It haunts the thickest portions of the bush, and is rarely 

 seen. 



82. Tarsiger silens. Silent Bush Robin. 



Migratory ; found along the coast only in winter, when it 

 is fairly common. 



83. Erythropygia leucophrys. White-browed Ground 

 Robin. 



The only place I have seen these birds was in the thorn- 

 bush along the banks of the Umtamvuna River, on the Natal 

 border. They were hopping about on the ground, and occa- 

 sionally perching on the top of a bush and uttering a short 

 song. I shot one specimen, an adult male. 



84. LioPTiLUS NiGRiCAPiLLus. Bush Blackcap. 



Scarce. I shot three specimens at Flagstaff. They are 

 quiet birds, and stick to the thick undergrowth and creepers 

 in the bush. 



85. MusciCAPA GRISOLA. Spotted Flycatcher. 

 Fairly common in bush country. 



S6. Alseonax adusta. Dusky Flycatcher. 

 Port St. Johns. Rather common. 



87. Pachyprora capensis. Cape Flycatcher. 

 Very common in bush countrv.
