(joroiigcza forests in Portuguese East Africa. It was 

 usually observed in small parties diligeutly searching for 

 insects in the tops of the larger trees along the river-banks. 



It is an active Ijird, keeping continually ou the move and 

 constantly calling ; in this respect and iu its movements it 

 much resembles the White-eyes. 



The soft ])arts are : — Iridcs very pale yellow ; bill dusky 

 black; legs yellowish browu ; toes much paler.]

["Imbuzana'' (Little Goat-Kid) of Zulus. 



I have noted this Warbler from Knysua, Natal and Zulu- 

 liind, and the Inhambane district of the Portuguese country. 

 It is a woodland-haunting species, and is usually observed 

 singly, creeping about the thick undergrowth and thickets. 

 Its peculiar kid-like call is remarkably loud for so small a 

 bird and is decidedly ventriloquial, while it is impossible to 

 locate the bird by listening to it, and it is only by careful 

 Matching that it can at last be detected. 



The soft parts are : — Irides yellow ; bill black; legs and 

 toes fleshy. ^j

P. Beira, May (1)-, Tambarara, May (1). 



The birds from Beira and Tambarara undoubtedly belong 

 to this widely spread tropical species, which seems to replace 

 C. olivacea iu the northern portion of Portuguese East Africa. 



[This species was noticed sparingly in the Beira and 

 (lorongoza districts, and frequented the undergrowth and 

 thickets in the wi ods and forests. Its call, actions, and 

 habits resemble those of C. olivacea. 



The soft parts are: — Irides raw sienna; eyelid slijihtly 

 yellow; bill black; legs and toes fleshy.]
