The Serenji birds appear on the whole closest to the typical 

 form.] 



440 A. Dexdropicus cardinalis hartlaubi. (Hartlaub's 

 Cardinal Woodpecker.) 



(a) (6) $ . Opposite Feira, Sept. '03. 



(c) 9 . Chiromwe, Oct. '03. 



This is undoubtedly the most abundant and widely-spread 

 of the Woodpeckers. 



441. Thripias namaquus. (Bearded Woodpecker.) 

 (a) $ . George's Ferry, Mar. '04. 



Apparently a rare species, though I may have over- 

 looked it. 



444. Indicator sparrmani. (Sparrman's Honej-Guide.) 

 (a). BC3, April '04. 



(h). Korasisi, Sept. '04. 

 (c). Ulungu, Nov. '04. 



445. Indicator major. (Yellow-throated Honey-Guide.) 

 (a) $ . Korasisi, Sept. '04. 



44G. Indicator minor. (Scaly-throated Honey-Guide.) 



(a) 9 . BC3, April '04. 



(b) 9 . Ulungu, Nov. '04. 



Sparrman's Honey-Guide is far the most common of the 

 three ; I have only met with the Yellow-throated species 

 once or twice. I am not sure if it guides one to honey. The 

 other two species certainly do so. 



448. Prodotiscus regulus. (Wahlberg's Honey-Guide.) 



(a). Cyhiromwe, Oct. '03. 



{b) $ . Mpika, Oct. '05. 



(c). Chikwere, May '05. 



I met with Wahlberg's Honey-Guide several times on the 

 hills. The first bird I found sitting on a dead tree. The 

 second example was flitting to and fro and making itself 

 busy among the bushes like a Warbler or a Flycatcher. The 

 stomach contained insects.
