I met the European rock-thrush in December 1899, in that part 

 of the velt which is near to the British frontier, in the direction 

 of the Djo'ulu Mountains. They arc so numerous that I counted 

 nearly seventy birds on one day ; but I only shot two specimens, 

 as I had no fowling-piece with me, but only a rifle or heavy gun. 

 It was not easy to secure this small bird without damaging it too 

 much. In the vclt near Kibosho I shot another specimen in 

 November.

 near the Xgaptuk Mountain.
