390 ANTICHROMUS ANCHIETA 
Immature. Tas a number of white feathers on the black crown and the 
mantle and back, with a good deal of ochraceous yellow mingled with the 
rufous. 
Anchieta’s Bush-Shrike ranges from northern Angola east- 
wards through Katanga and Nyasaland to the coastlands of 
British and German East Africa, and south of the Zambesi 
to Gazaland. 
This species was first described by Bocage from an 
example collected by Anchieta at Pungo Andongo in the 
interior of northern Angola. In his subsequent volume on 
the birds of Angola, Bocage gave an excellent figure, though 
he unfortunately identified it with the more northern 
A. minutus. It has subsequently been obtained by Mechow and 
Ansorge in the same region, where it is known as “Gundo,” 
according to Anchieta, who further states that it has a sweet 
song only heard at night. 
In Katanga Neave met with it at Kambove, where it is 
found about the long grass at the edge of the forest lands, 
while further to the north Carruthers obtained a single 
example between Kazongo on the Congo and Baraka on 
Lake Tanganyika. It is not uncommon in Nyasaland, where 
it was met with by Fiilleborn and Stierling as well as by 
Whyte and Sharpe. 
In East Africa it ranges from Lamu southwards along the 
coast and inland to Ugogo in the German Colony. Neumann 
believed that these birds could be distinguished from those of 
Angola by their lighter colour and smaller size, but I concur 
with Ogilvie-Grant and Reichenow in believing that this is 
not the case. 
Recently Swynnerton has found this species in Gazaland, 
on the borders of Mashonaland and Portuguese East Africa, 
and has given us some field notes. He states: “This is a 
bolder bird than either 7’. senegala or T. australis, choosing
