Mr. W. L. Sclater on Birds collected 
[Young males in first plumage are similar to the adult 
female, but can usually be distinguished by the under tail- 
coverts being pure white and with only one or two spots. 
Females in their first plumage can only be distinguished from 
adult females by the broader and more sandy edges of the 
feathers of the mantle and wings. 
Yerreaux's Glossy Starling was only found in the Beira 
and Gorongoza districts of the Portuguese country. The old 
birds were noticed in pairs and the young ones in flocks of 
twenty or more. Like the other Glossy Starlings it lives 
principally on wild fruit and berries. It has a strong, swift 
flight and the call is clear and somewhat loud, but very 
different from that of other Glossy Starlings. It breeds as a 
rule in the hollow of a decayed tree, but although I found 
several occupied sites none contained eggs. 
The soft parts are :—Irides pale yellow; bill and legs and 
toes black. In the young bird the gape is yellowish.] 
20. Oriolus galbula. 
Tv. Wakkerstroom, March 5 (1). 
[The single specimen of this Oriole seen and secured was 
solitary, and frequented the tall gum-trees bordering some 
farm-lands. 
The soft parts are :—Irides red ; bill dark flesh-coloured; 
legs and toes slate-coloured.] 
21. Oriolus notatus. 
P. Tambarara, March 12 (1). 
[A small party of this species of about four to six 
individuals, one of which was secured, were seen in the tops 
of some tall teak trees in the Gorongoza forest. The call 
was a whistle, and until I picked the specimen up I took it 
to be O. larvatus. ]
