b, $ . Transvaal^ July 16; 1873. 
Yery common in the bush-country north of Pretoria; up to 
the Matabili country. Its note and habits were the same as 
the West-African L. harbarus. 
LANIUS COLLURIO, L.

Common south of Bamangwato on our return journey; it 
is probably only a summer migrant.

Soft parts as above. 
Fairly common throughout Bamangwato; in its habits it was 
identical with those I met with on the west coast in Fantee. 
The female specimen is in the brown-headed plumage de¬ 
scribed by Smith as Telephonus trivirgatus. She is much 
smaller than the male; but I could not quite determine whether 
she belonged to a different species; as I shot both birds in the 
same country, and their habits were the same. 
Etjrocephaltjs anguitimens, Smith. 
$. Towanni River, Bamangwato, October 23rd, 1873. 
Beak black; legs dark brown ; iris dark hazel. 
Found in the Bamangwato and Matabili countries. I only 
observed this fine Shrike on two or three occasions; at one time 
there were three or four of them together, hawking after insects 
apparently, and returning to the same branch, like a Fly¬ 
catcher. They were rather shy, and it was some time before 
I secured one. Their flight is undulating. 
Urolestes cissoides (Licht.).
