Tl)ese Grass- Warblers were not uncommon in open forest 

 near Villa Pereira and Mpimba. They were usually found 

 in small ]:)arties dilinently searching amongst the grass and 

 Lushes for insects, and seemed to prefer those parts of the 

 forest in which the trees were tall and free from tanoled 

 undergrowth. 



Heliolais kirbyi, Haagner. (1 M., 1 ?) Resident. 



These two specimens are the types of the species. 



The first specimen 1 shot while perclied in an orange-tree 

 in which it had taken refuge on being disturbed from the 

 grass, and the second was one of a small party found searching 

 amongst small bushes and grass in o[)en forest at Mpimba. 

 I saw several more on different occasions at the last place, 

 but did not secure them. Their habits and appearance much 

 resembled those of the Wren-Warblers (Prima) ; but their 

 red wings served to distinguish them even at a distance. 



Calamonastes stierlingi, Tlchw. R. 2009. (1 M., 1 F.) 

 Resident. 



I. light cinnamon ; B. black (in F. toniia and genys

 Tl. 50 & 40 ; Ts. 21 & 20 ; C. 13-5 & 12. 



There is a specimen of stierl'imji from Matoppos, Rhodesia, 

 which does not differ from the two from Boror, and it does 

 therefore occur south of the Zambesi River. 



Stierling's Barred Warbler was found in open forest amongst 

 grass and small bushes growing under tall trees. It was, 

 as a rule, seen to rise from the grass into the nearest bush, 

 from which it could watch the movements of the intruder.

 Resident. 



T. light brown ; B. max. horn-brown, mand, brownish

 Tl. 50 ; Ts. 25; C. 14; hind claw 8'3. 



This s[)ecimen is much more rusty yellowish than the 

 described species; but I lliiuk it is probably in immature
