Mr. W. L. Sclater on Birds collected 
22 7. Phyllastrephus strepitans. 
F. Coguno, Aug., Sept. (2) ; Beira, Dec. (2) ; Tambarara, 
June (3) ; Tete, Sept. (1). 
[This species was found in the Portuguese country from 
the Inliambane district to the Zambesi. In habits, call, and 
soft parts it resembles P. terrestris.] 
228. Bleda flavostriata. 
Z,. Ngoye Hills, Oct. (3) ; Tv. Woodbush, Feb., May, 
Nov. (7). 
[I have only found this Bulbul in the Ngoye Forest and 
Zululand and the forests of the Woodbush in the North- 
Eastern Transvaal. 
It is usually found in small parties of about half a dozen 
in the depth of the forest, running about the limbs of 
the trees in search of insects, and much resembling a 
Woodpecker or Creeper; it often hangs head downwards 
on the upright sides of the trunks. Its flight is slow and 
undulating, and only from tree to tree, while the call is loud 
and clear. It is fearless and tame, and can generally be 
easily secured. I have not found it breeding. 
The soft parts are :—Irides hazel; bill, legs and toes ash- 
coloured.] 
229. Parisoma subc^eruleum. 
Tv. Turfloop, Mch. (1). 
[This species was not seen in Namaqualand, although a 
careful look out was kept for it, and it was not till I reached 
the North-Eastern Transvaal that I came across it. There 
it is not common, and only some half a dozen individuals 
were observed; it is found only in the undulating country 
that extends round Pietersburg for many miles and there 
frequents the few bushes that exist, especially the little belts 
of thorns and dogwood that line the courses of the sand 
rivers. In habits and call it resembles P. layardi. 
The soft parts are :—Irides very pale yellow ; bill dark 
horn-coloured ; legs black.]
