22 Mr. G. C. Shortridge on the Birds collected 



21. Nectarina FAiiosA. (Malachite Sunbird.) 

 (Stark, vol. i. p. 276.) 



Not plentiful : arriving towards the end of August when 

 aloes and other plants start coming into flower. 



22. CiNNYEis FTTSCUS. (White-vented Sunbird.) 

 (Stark, vol. i. p. 290.) 



Not plentiful : going about in pairs ; probably migratory 

 durincr the winter months. 



*23. ZosTEROPS CAPENSis. (Cape White-eye.) 

 (Stark, vol. i. p. 302.) 

 Not common : found in small flocks ; irregular in appeai'- 

 ance. 



24. Parus afer. (Grrey Tit.) 



(Stark, vol. i. p. 305.) 

 Not common. 



.' 25. ^Egithalus CAPENSIS. (Cape Penduline Tit.) 

 (Stark, vol. i. p. 310.) 

 Not common. 



2^. Lanius collaris. (Fiscal Shrike.) 

 (Stark, vol. ii. p. 6.) 



Not uncommon in the district where trees have been 

 planted. The closely-allied species L. siihcoronatiis (Coronetted 

 Shrike) also occurs here, but the markings of the specimens 

 from this district are not so well defined as those from near 

 the Orange River, being more or less intermediate between 

 the two. There is no doubt that they interbreed when 

 they occur in the same locality, some specimens having 

 very faint traces of the white eyebrow which distinguishes 

 L. subcoronatus from L. collaris. 



27. Lanius subcoronatus. (Coronetted Shrike.) 



(Stark, vol. ii. p. 9.) 

 Not plentiful : in flight and habits exactly resembles the 

 preceding species.
