This species is but rarely obtained, and the only specimens I possess were procured about 

 three hundred miles to the north of Cape Town, in tlie Namaqua country. It occasionally 

 occuis in thickets, but more generally upon dwarf trees, in the vicinity of streams, and through 

 these it passes rapidly from branch to branch in pursuit of insects, which form its chief food.
