BIRDS 349 



165. Mirafra hypermetra (Rchw.) 



This rare Lark was shot on the Voi River in British East Africa 

 on 25/10/96. " Iris chocohite-brown, feet flesh-colour, bill slate- 

 brown, maxilla much darker." 



Reichenow has created the new genus Spilocorydon for this 

 bird, but I see no reason for removing it from Mirafra. 



166. Mirafra poecilosterna (Rchw.) (1879.) 

 This rare Lark was procured at Kinani and on the Tsavo 



River, British East Africa, in October. " Iris, feet, and bill 



brown." 



The narrow and long soft bill remove this species very much 



from all Mirafrce, and it will probably be necessary to create a 



new genus for it.
