the breast and abdomen. The wing measures 54 mm. It 
closely resembles Anthothreptes seimundi, a species recently 
described by Ogilvie-Grant from West Africa, which extends 
to the Semliki Valley in Central Africa. 
I am inclined to identify it with Anthothreptes reichenowi 
Gunning, also from Beira, but I have not seen the types, 
which are in the Pretoria Museum. 
[The single specimen obtained was solitary, and was shot 
among the tops of some small bushes in one of the many 
stretches of woodland which are a common feature of the 
Beira district. It was silent, and was apparently searching 
for insects among the branches. 
The soft parts are :—Irides brown; bill, legs and toes 
horn-brown.]

[This dainty little “ White-eye ” was only found in the 
Inliambane and Gorongoza districts of the Portuguese 
country. It was rather scarce in the latter locality, but was 
by no means uncommon in the former. It was usually 
observed in pairs or small parties of from four to six, never 
more; it frequented the tops of the larger trees, espe¬ 
cially the “ caout-chouc. - ” Besides insects, which form its 
principal food, it pecks and eats a .certain amount of wild 
fruit and enjoys the nectar of certain flowering trees. It is 
a very active bird and is continually uttering a low call-note. 
The soft parts are :—Irides very pale brown; bill black, 
base of lower mandible whitish ; legs and toes pale slate- 
coloured.]

[This was quite the commonest of the White-eyes and was 
noted in large flocks of twenty or more individuals in all 
the forest areas of Natal and Zululand, the South-Eastern, 
Eastern, and North-Eastern Transvaal. It was breeding
