Ornhlioloaii of Eastern Pondolund. 7 



hnslies, uttering their loud whistle. At this season they 

 sometimes utter a short song wliilst on the wing. 



242. Anthus crenatus, Finsch & Hartl. Large Yellow- 

 tufted Pipit. 



I shot a single adult male o£ this species on the top of a 

 rocky hill near the Umtamvuna River. This is the only 

 specimen I have seen in Pondoiand. 



243. Anthus nicholsoni, Sharpe. Nicholson's Pipit. 

 This Pipit is not uncommon along the Umtamvuna River, 



frequenting rocky hillsides. 



244. MoTACiLLA CAPENSis, L. Cape Wagiail. 



This species was accidentally omitted fiom my previous 

 paper ; it is very common everywhere. 



245. PoMATORHYNCHUS TSCHAGRA (Vieill.) . Tsclmgra 

 Bush-Shrike. 



I overlooked this species for a long time, mistaking it for 

 P. senegalus. It appears to be fairly common amongst the 

 scrub-bush in the valleys, keeping mostly to the ground, 

 and is rarely seen. 



246. AcROCErHALUS ARUNDiNACEUS (L.). Great Reed- 

 Warbler. 



Not common. I have only secured four specimens, two 

 at Flagstaff and two on the Umtamvuna River. They are 

 generally found in the valley's, frequenting both the reeds and 

 the scrub-bush along the banks. 



247. AcROCEPHALUsrALUSTRis(Bechst.). Marsh-Warbler. 

 Although not unconnnon in some of the river valleys, this 



species is one of the hardest birds I know of to collect. 

 They frequent the thickest parts of the scrub, and although 

 one often hears their pretty song, the most one usually sees of 

 them is a glimpse of a small brown bird which appears for a 

 second on the top of some low bush, and on the slightest 

 alarm di\c's back into cover, to appear again perhaps 100
