Del;i<ioa Bay line, in August 11)05. It was one of a pair 

 frequenting thick scrub. [L. E. T.] 



Stark and Sclater record this s[)oeies from Swazi(dand 

 (fide Buckley) and Natal {fide Jteid). In habits and plumage 

 this species very much resembles Muscicapn cceruJescnis (Blue- 

 grey Flycatcher), and it \vould be almost imjiossible to dis- 

 tinguish between the two unless handled in the flesh. 



330. EiiYTHROi'YGiA ZAMBESIANA. (Zambesi Ground 

 Robin.) 



c?. 12.9.05. Koodoo River, Zoutpansberg. [L. E. T.] 

 The only previous record of this species in South Africa 

 south of the Zambesi is that of the type specimen obtained 

 at Tete on the south bank of the Zambesi by Dr. Kirk. I 

 found it very plentiful all along the road from the Koodoo 

 Kiver to Thabana, in the Great Letaba valley. When dis- 

 turbed these birds usually fly to the top of an Acacia tree. 



341. MusciCAPA c^KULESCENS. (Bhie-grey Flycatcher.) 

 ?. 30 9.05. Leeuw's Creek, Barberton District. [C. H. T.] 

 This species has been recorded already from all the colonies 

 south of the Zambesi, with the exce])tion of the Transvaal. 



3G0. Graucalus c^sius. (Great Cuckoo Shrike.) 



G.9.05. Great Letaba valley, Zoutpan>berg. 



This was the only specimen which I saw. The skin was 

 exceedingly delicate, and as it was also badly shot it was 

 quite impossible to preserve it. Sclater's Check-list only 

 records it from Natal, Caj)e Colony, and Zululand. 



434. Hapaloderma narina. (Narina Trogon.) 

 A single specimen was obtained in the Great Letaba 

 Yalley, Zoutpansberg, in October 1905. [C. H. T.] 



Mr. W. L. Sclater informs me that since the publication of 

 vol. iii. of his 'Fauna of South Africa: Birds,' he has received 

 one specimen from the Sabi District. This Trogon is also 

 found in the Barberton district near Leeuw's Creek, but is a 

 rare bird in the Transvaal.
