Mr. W. Atmore procured this pretty species at Kykoe and 
Meiring’s Poort, where he met with it “in small flocks of four or 
five individuals,” probably family parties. Mr. Rickard tells us 
he only once fell in with it at Hast London, and Captain Trevelyan 
records it as scarce near Kingwilliamstown. Mr. T. C. Atmore 
obtained it near Grahamstown and Hland’s Post. Mr. T. Ayres has 
found it in Natal, and observed it rather commonly in some parts 
adjoining the Limpopo River. Mr. T. E. Buckley obtained specimens 
in Bamangwato and the Matabele country, and Mr. Frank Oates 
procured specimens at Tati, and at the first Makalaka Kraal on the 
Zambesi road, at Inchlangin, on the Semokwe River, and again 
between the Gokwe and Seruli Rivers. Mr. Ayres states that it is 
by no means uncommon in the Mashoonacountry. Mr. Andersson’s 
note is as follows: “ This very handsome bird is pretty common in 
northern Damara Land, and thence onward to the Okavango. I have 
usually met with it in well-wooded localities ; and I obtained my speci- 
mens by quietly awaiting their arrival at some small piece of water, 
which they were sure to visit in the morning and evening, especially 
the former ; they are fearless birds, and consequently easy to secure.” 
Head black, with seven white stripes, the centre one on the top 
of the head broadest and often tinged with rufous; plumage above 
yaried with rufous and grey; beneath bright yellow, with a rufous 
pectoral bar; chin, vent, and tips of lateral tail feathers, pure white ; 
rump grey. Length, 5” 6”; wing, 2” 8”. 
“The upper mandible is dark liver-brown, the under mandible 
salmon-yellow ; the legs yellowish brown, and the toes also, but more 
dusky” (Andersson).
