41. ZosTEROPs viRENs, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 325. 



On 10th July I procured a male. Its bill and legs were 

 dark steel-grey. Iris grey exteriorly, with a pupillary margin 

 hazel in coloration. 



42. Parus NIGER, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 331. 



A male shot on 3rd July had its irides dark hazel, bill 

 and legs blue-black. The stomach contained hard-shelled 

 larvae. 



43. Terpsiphone perspicillata, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 352.

 From Fig-tree Creek I got a female on 23rd June. 



45. Lanius subcoronatus, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 377. 

 The fact that I took a male of this species on the 23rd 



April serves to prove that it occurs side by side with the 

 foregoing bird. Its stomach contained coleoptera and hard- 

 shelled insects.

 steel-colour. The stomach of the male contained various 

 small insects, that of the female a large mantis.
