on 



together and buikling its nest in between. It builds iu 

 May and June, and a nest found contained one pure white 

 egg of Chrysococcyx klaasi or possibly C. cupreus, as well as 

 one of the Warbler itself (Plate X. fig. 1). 



72. Sylviella carnapi. 



Sylviella carnapi Reichw., Orn. Monatsb. 1900, p. 22. 

 ]]y no means common, although^ owing to its skulking 

 habits, it is doubtless often overlooked. 



73. Sylviella baraka. 



Sylviella baraka Sliarpe, Bull. B.O. C. vii. 1897, p. vi. 

 Fairly common among the undergrowth iu thick forest, 

 though more often heard than seen. 



74. Eminia lepida. Only seea once, but, being a forest- 

 bird and very shy, is probably not so very uncommon. 



75. Apalis cinerea. A male in breeding condition was 

 obtained iu June among the top branches of a high tree 

 in forest. This and the next species are, I fancy, common, 

 but they keep too high iu the trees to identify or to 

 obtain, and I have wasted many cartridges in trying to 

 bring them down. 



76. Apalis rufigularis. The habits of this bird are similar 

 to those of the last species. 



77. Apalis jacksoni. This beautiful bird was only noticed 

 once — a family group searching for insects among the 

 branches of forest-trees, but not very high. 



78. Burnesia reichenowi. Probably the commonest 

 Warbler iu the district. It is to be fouud both in forest 

 and outside, but should, I think, be considered a forest- 

 bird. It is usually to be seen in parties searching for insects 

 and continually twittering. The male when courting 

 throws his tail right up over his back. It builds in May 

 and June, the nest being constructed between two leaves 

 sewn together (Plate X. fig. 18).
