Mr. Jesse, during his journey in Abyssinia and Bogos Land, found it to be not plentiful 
in the localities he visited. He observed it, however, at Senafe, at Rayrayguddy, in May, 
and at Kokai, on the Anseba, in August. He adds :— " Seen hawking insects like a Fly- 
catcher, returning to its perch on a dead bough." Mr. Blanford gives the following note:— 
" Not rare about Adigrat and Senafe. Close to the shrine of St. Romanos I shot a specimen, 
which was hanging head downwards from a branch, feeding upon fruit." 
There is one figure of this species in Riippell's ' Neue Wirbelthiere.'
