The young birds are of a much duller brown than the adults, 

 and have the head and throat brown instead of black. As 

 will be seen by the list, immature examples were obtained 

 in February and April : both are moulting into the adult 

 plumage. 



[Fairly common, and said to be very destructive to figs. 

 Mostly found round the farms, but also met with on the 

 kopjes. We procured young birds, but did not find a nest.]

Deelfontein is an interesting locality for this species, which 

 is more plentiful in the Transvaal. 



[This Thrush must have been uncommon in the district, 

 as we saw but one specimen. A farmer told us that he had 

 shot its mate a week before our arrival.]
