SCO. GllAUCALUS C/ESIUS. 



CC. Knysna, Dec, Jan. (2); Z. Sibudcni, Jan. (I); 

 Ngoye Ililk, Oct. (2) ; Tv. Woodbusli Hills, Nov. (4). 



I am not aware that the Grey Cuckoo-Shrike has been 

 previously taken north of Zululand. 



[This species was noticed in the forests of the Kuysna, 

 Zululandj and the North - Eastern Transvaal. It is 

 strictly a forest-haunting bird, and usually fi'equents the 

 tops of the trees, and is somewhat active in habits, catching 

 insects on the wing like a Drongo. It has a harsh cry and. 

 the flight is very Cuckoo-like. I have only obsei'ved it singly 

 or in pairs. I could learn nothing regarding its nesting- 

 habits. 



The soft parts are : — Irides brown ; bill, legs and toes 

 black.] 



363. COTILE PALUDICOLA. 



Z. Umfolosi Station, June, July (3). 



[I can find no data among my notes to the effect that I 

 have seen this Martin elsewhere than at tlie locality from 

 which specimens were obtained. In flight and appearance 

 on the wing it greatly resembles C. riparia. 



The soft parts are : — Irides hazel ; bill almost black ; legs 

 and toes horn-brown.] 



3G4. COTILE CINCTA. 



Tv. Wakkerstroom, Mch. 21, Ai)l. 7 (G). 



[In two localities only have I seen this Martin, on the 

 high open country above the Nkandhla Forest in Zululand in 

 January 1904, and again in the Wakkerstroom district in 

 April of the same year, where numbers were hawking over 

 the open country. In both localities it was apparently 

 passing through on migration. 



The soft parts are: — Irides brown; bill, legs and toes 

 black.]
