330. Erythropygia zambesiana. 
P. Tete, Sept. (1 $). 
This is the type-locality, where it was first procured by 
Sir John Kirk. 
[This is the only specimen I have seen of this species. It 
was feeding among the small bushes at the foot of some 
hills. The red tail was very conspicuous as it flew from one 
bush to another. 
The soft parts are :—Irides hazel; bill blackish, pale 
yellow at base of lower mandible ; legs and toes pale 
brown.] 
331. Erythropygia leucophrys. 
Z. Hluhluwe Stream, Aug. (1) ; Tv. Woodbush, May 
(1) ; F. Coguno, June (1). 
[Besides the three localities where specimens were 
collected, I have observed what was apparently this species 
on one occasion near Beira. It is by no means common, 
and altogether I have only seen it on three or four occasions, 
usually in pairs. 
The example shot in Zululand was warbling from the top 
of a small tree; the male from Inhambane was courting a 
female and was shewing off, running along the branches with 
the head beld low and the wings drooping, the tail being 
widely spread and held more or less erect; on coming close 
to me it flew off at a tangent and back to an upper branch, 
and repeated the performance. 
The soft parts are :—Irides hazel; bill dark brown, pale 
yellowish white at base of lower mandible ; legs and toes 
pale brown.] 
334. Erythropygia coryph^us. 
CCo Klipfontein, Apl., June (4) ; Port Nolloth, July (2). 
[I have only observed this species in Namaqualand, where 
it was fairly common and frequented the patches of rough 
scrub in the kloofs and along the dry water-courses. It is an 
active little bird, and was only seen singly; it feeds largely 
on insects. It was apparently breeding during my visit. 
The soft parts are :—Irides hazel; bill, legs and toes 
blackish.]
