400 TELOPHORUS DOHERTYI 
betrays its presence. It is usually in pairs and I am not sure 
that the first two notes are not the call of the male, and the 
third that of the female.” 
Swynnerton has made some observations on this Bush- 
Shrike in Gazaland, where it is called by the natives Ighiya- 
ngehlangu, the expression having reference to the custom 
whereby at war-dances a warrior will rush out of the ranks 
and repeat his exploits while his comrades dance and beat 
time upon their shields (ihlangu). 
Swynnerton syllabizes the call as ‘Pom puwe puwe.” He 
trapped a female on the nest in December. “This was a 
rough structure of small twigs about two feet from the ground 
in the centre of a dense thicket beside a stream and contained 
two eggs, evidently the full clutch, as they were hard set. 
They were of a pale blue ground-colour spotted and blotched 
with pale brown and purplish grey.” They measured 0°95 x 
0°65. The bird’s stomach contained larve and a spider. 
Further north specimens were collected on the Rovuma 
River by Joseph Thomson, and on the Pangani by Fisher, 
in British East Africa on the Voi River in the Teita 
district by Jackson, and at Mombasa (Hildebrandt) and 
Malindi (Fischer and Percival). 
The series in the British Museum includes examples from 
the following localities, all already mentioned: Durban, 
Inhambane, Gazaland, Rovuma River, Voi River, Mombasa, 
Takaungu and Malindi.
