170 Dr. P. Kendall on the Ornithology of the 



30. Thamnobia cinnamomeiventris, L. & S., B. S. Afr. 

 p. 232. 



Out of a party of eight birds on 6tli July I shot a male. 



31. Saxicola galtoni, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 234. 



The stomach of a female I shot on 12th June contained a 

 grasshopper. 



32. Pratincola torquata, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 250. 

 An immature male was obtained on 15th June. Its beak, 



tarsus, and feet \Tere black, and its stomach was full of 

 black ants. 



33. Prinia mystacea, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 258 and 

 p. 822. 



On 10th July a male which I shot had a steel-grey bill. 

 The iris was bronzy yellow. Tarsus and feet flesh-coloured. 

 Its stomach contained small grass-seeds. 



34. CisTicoLA aberrans, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 271. 

 Common, and everywhere in evidence amongst low grass 



and bushes. I shot one on 3rd July. 



35. Sphen(eacus africanus, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 280 

 and p. 824. 



On 16th April a male was procured with the crop and 

 stomach full of grass-seeds. This was probably the sub- 

 species that Captain Shelley distinguishes as the Transvaal 

 form, S. natalensis. It was far advanced in moult. Beak 

 and legs were of a dark steely grey. 



36. Acrocephalus turdoides, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 289 

 and p. 826. 



I got one on 17th February : possibly an extension of 

 its geographical distribution more widely than is generally 

 known. 



37. CiNNYRis AFBR, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 313. 



I have notes of these birds taken on 26th March and 

 4th August in widely separated localities, both situated 

 more than 3000 feet above sea-level.
