Ladysmith, August (eid). 
Very common in the bush along the Orange River (Bradshaw).

Scarce on the Orange River, and not found so near water as P. subce- 
ruleum (Bradshaw). 
Page 334. Insert :—Parisoma PLUMBEUM (Hartl.). Plumbeous Flycatcher. 
Capt. Shelley has shown me two specimens collected by Mr. T. EB. 
Buckley in Suazi Land, which are identical with others from Sene- 
gambia and N. EH. Africa. Capt. Reid’s supposed specimen of 
P. layardi, recorded as being procured by him on the 26th of 
December between Durban and the Umgeni River, also belongs to 
the present species. 
P. plumbea differs from P. subceruleum in its white or fulvous under 
tail-coverts, as in P. layardi, but it may easily be told from the 
latter species by the absence of spots on the breast. 
Page 336. Hy iora VIOLACEA. 
Considered to be distinct from the true H. violacea, from Gaboon, and 
named H. barboze by Dr. Hartlaub (J. f. O. 1883, p. 329). 
Page 336. Insert:—Hyuiora Austrauis, Shelley. Mashoona Flycatcher. 
This is an unmistakable species, only to be confounded with 
H. barboze, of Benguela. It was discovered during Mr. Jameson’s 
expedition to Mashoona Land. Mr. Ayres says it was exceedingly 
scarce, frequenting the upper parts of high trees, amongst the 
buds and young leaves of which it actively searched for insects. 
Captain Shelley gives the following description of the species :— 
Upper parts and sides of the head dull black, slightly glossed with 
metallic lilac ; across the lower back a broad band of white feathers 
tipped with black, much hidden by the overlapping of the black 
feathers, giving a mottled appearance to this part; median and 
greater wing-coverts entirely white, with the exception of a few 
of the outer ones; secondaries with a white base, increasing in 
breadth towards the innermost ones; inner webs of the quills with 
white edges; under wing-coverts white; two centre tail-feathers 
entirely black, the others more or less narrowly and partially 
edged with white on both webs; the outer feather has the white 
extending over the entire basal portion of the external web for
