ZOSTEROPS SENEGALENSIS. 173 



halfway between the northern extremity of Madagascar and 

 the African coast. 



According to Pollen, who discovered the species, it lives 

 in small flocks of six to twelve individuals, and is generally to 

 be met with along the outskirts of the bush or by the sides of 

 the footpaths, feeding on the small insects and honey from 

 the flowers. It is not shy in its habits, and he likens its song 

 to that of a female Canary. M. Hutnblot collected four 

 specimens, and often found them in company with Ginnyris 

 coquereli.
