[I have not noticed this species elsewhere than in the 
Knysna district of the Cape Colony, Natal and Zululand. 
It is a forest-haunting bird, and apparently has much the 
habits of the following species. 
The soft parts are :—Irides brown ; bill, legs and toes 
blue-slate-coloured. ]

Two nestlings, dated January 12, from Woodbush, are

supposed to be characteristic of the family Muscicapidse.

the adult. The head is also chestnut, but shews the lead- 
colour gradually appearing; below the birds are of a dirty grey.

The Paradise Flycatcher was noted commonly in the 
Knysna district of the Cape Colony, Natal, Zululand, the 
Eastern and North-Eastern Transvaal, and the Inhambane, 
Beira, and Gorongoza districts of Portuguese East Africa. 
It is a woodland bird, and frequents well-timbered country, 
being especially partial to shady rivers and streams, where 
it can be seen flitting among the trees, and the males look 
particularly graceful. It feeds on insects, which it catches 
on the wing from a fixed perch. The flight is slow and
