Mr. Alexander during his expedition up the Zambezi from 
Chinde to the Kafue River in the Mashakolumbwe country, 
collected some 914 bird skins, which included 250 species ; 
these are described in the present paper. In addition to several 
new species, a large number of birds are brought for the first 
time within the limits of the South African fauna, and the 
field-notes made by the collector himself make the paper a most 
valuable one to South African Ornithologists.
