285. DryYopROMAS ALBIGULARIS. White-throated Bush-Warbler. 
Described by Drs. Finsch and Hartlaub (Vg. Ostafr. p. 240) 
from a specimen obtained by Mr. T. Ayres in Natal, and now in the 
Bremen Museum. We have seen one specimen of this species, from 
Namaqualand, in the British Museum, a full description of which is 
given below: it is from Sir A. Smith’s collection, The species 
was also found by Mr. W. Atmore at Traka. He says they inhabit 
the short Karroo bush in little flocks of three or four individuals, 
and are as affectionate as ‘“love-birds” If one is shot the others 
make a doleful lamentation. Their habits and nest resemble those of 
the White-eye (Zosterops), and the eggs procured on the 20th of 
August are pale blue, spotted at the obtuse end with small dark dry 
blood-coloured spots. Axis, 6” ; diam. 4}'’.
