382 TSCHAGRA SOUZAE 
The British Museum has a very small series of this species, 
as follows: Plettenberg Bay (C. Grant), and Elands Post 
(Atmore) in Cape Colony, and Durban (Gordge and Ayres) in 
Natal, the latter being referred to 7’. ¢. natalensis.

Adult. Above brown of a rufous shade, crown slightly darker than the 
back ; rump slaty blue; a greyish white eyestripe from the base of the bill 
to above the ear-coverts, bordered above by a rather ill-defined black band, 
and below by a very distinct one; cheeks and ear-coverts brownish-grey ; 
wings bright rufous, no black on the scapulars; these and the inner 
secondaries rufous throughout, not with well-defined rufous edges only, as 
in T. australis ; central tail-feathers dark slaty, quite conspicuously narrowly 
banded with dusky, the others black with white tips; under parts slaty grey, 
becoming white on the chin and in the centre of the abdomen; under wing- 
coverts and lining of the quills greyish, edge of the wing white. Iris brownish- 
violet, bill black, feet slate-blue. Length 7°5 inches, wing 3:0, tail 3-05, 
culmen 0:70, tarsus 0:90. Bihé, 9, 4. 12. 04 (Ansorge, in Tring Museum). 
Subspecies T. s. ansorgei. Very similar to 7’. sowzae, but the under parts 
washed with olivaceous (instead of cinereous or slaty), fading almost to white 
on the chin and centre of the abdomen; wing as in 7’. sowzae. Iris dark 
brown; bill dark grey, lower mandible pinkish grey; feet slate-blue. 
Wing 3:05. Pungo Andongo, type 3, 3. 7. 03 (Ansorge, in Tring Museum). 
Souza’s T'schagra was first described from Quindumbo in 
the interior of the Province of Benguella in Angola. So far 
as one can judge, it takes the place of 7’. australis on the high 
plateau of the interior. I have examined examples in the Tring 
Museum from Caiala in the Bihé country (Ansorge) and the 
north Bailundu country (Pemberton), both localities in the
