Birds of Gazaland, Southern Rhodesia. 291 
121. Lysivs trorquatus. Black-collared Barbet. 
Called by the natives ‘‘ Mkweboro ” (Tshindawo), in 
allusion to its call of “kweboro! kweboro! kweboro!” It 
is not an uncommon bird on the high veld, and I met with 
two or three examples on the Lower Umswirezi in November. 
122. BaRBATULA BILINEATA. White-browed Tinker. 
On emerging from the forest the other day, I suddenly 
found myself in the midst of a crowd of small forest-birds 
of all descriptions, flying in the bright sunshine about the 
branches of a couple of large Rauwolfias—always a favourite 
spot. They included a pair of these little Tinkers insect- 
hunting like the rest, and I was able to watch them from 
within a few feet for some time before being observed. 
I have since heard their note again at the same spot; it 
may be imitated fairly accurately by the syllable Q-ing! 
(using the Zulu Q). 
123. TracnypHonus carer. Levaillant’s Barbet. 
I found a skin of this Barbet in a Dutch farmhouse, ten 
miles to the north of Chirinda, in May 1901; and was 
informed that it had recently been shot close to the home- 
stead. 
124. Curysococcyx SMARAGDINEUS. Emerald Cuckoo. 
I heard the note of this species three or four times while 
passing through the valley of the Lower Umswirezi at the 
commencement of November, and Mr. Stanley informs me 
that he has obtained a specimen at Mafusi. 
125. Curysococcyx Kuaast. Klaas’s Cuckoo. 
IT shot one of these birds in a large thorn-tree close to 
the Umswirezi River on the same occasion. The crop 
contained nineteen small green caterpillars. 
[Ina letter Mr. Swynnerton informs us that the “ contents 
of the stomach ” described above (p. 73) as those of Campo- 
phaga nigra were really those of an example of the present 
species.—Epp. | 
126. Curysococcyx cupreus. Didric Cuckoo. 
This Cuckoo was extremely common in the same locality
