228 LLOYDS NATURAL HISTORY. 
Huambo (3,700 ft.), equally so at Chirimoto, where 6,000 ft. 
seems to be the furthest limit of its orographic distribution. 
It usually keeps in pairs or in little flocks of two or three 
pairs. Its affinity with P. sclateri shows itself not only in the 
_ colouring, but also in the voice, in spite of the fact that the 
note of our bird is very loud and disagreeable, somewhat re- 
sembling the bray of an ass, hence its name of ‘ Gasnadora.’ 
Another of its ordinary notes, which I have heard several 
times in the evening at Huambo, is also disagreeable and 
strange ; I at first attributed it to the Svenxtor. In the day- 
time it generally hides in the thickets and only comes out 
at sunset. Besides the name mentioned above, it has another, 
Puca-cunga (puca = red, cunga = neck). I have also several 
times heard a resounding note, like ‘ #-¢ou-ty,’ repeated several 
times over, which is more pleasant than the others.”
