II. — Notes on Birds observed in Katanga, Belgian Congo. 

 By L. Beresford Mouritz, M.B.O.U. 



In 1911 I spent the last months of the year in the Katanga 

 District of the Belgian Congo. The nature of the work in 

 hand — a prospecting expedition under Anglo-Belgian auspices 

 — unfortunately made it impossible to devote anytime to the 

 study of the local ornithology, and the following notes are 

 simply the result of occasional observations made whilst out 

 hunting, on the march, etc. It is perhaps hardly necessary 

 to add that the few birds noticed do not iu the least represent 

 the great wealth of species which undoubtedly could be 

 obtained by systematic collecting. 



I arrived in Elisabethville about the middle of Aagust, 

 and after a short delay set out for the veld ; but before 

 leaving I was rather surprised to see a Black Helmet-Shrike 

 (probably Sigmodus tricolor) in some tall trees in the Avenue 

 du Moero.
