of the Lydenburg District.

berg, as well as in the bush near Pretoria; at the last place 
it was running up a tree. 
37. PsiTTACUS MEYERI. 
I saw several of the birds in the bush near Bustenberg, and 
shot one. I have received them from Marico and from the 
northern parts of the Transvaal. 
38. Turdus litsitsirupa. 
I shot one of these Thrushes amongst some brushwood 
about twenty miles north of Potchefstroom. I have often 
caught a glimpse of this bird in the underwood; but it seems 
to be rather shy in its habits. 
39. Turdus olivaceus. 
This species is pretty plentiful in the bush at Macamac. I 
had one given to me which was said to have been shot some¬ 
where in the Potchefstroom district. I never observed any 
in the Free State. 
40. Crateropus jardinii. 
I have seen this bird in the district of Potchefstroom, but 
never killed one myself. I was told by one of my men that 
he had shot it not far from the river; and I have seen a spe¬ 
cimen said to have been procured at Marico. 
41. COSSYPHA CAPFRA. 
I received this speeies from Lydenburg, and saw a few at 
Macamac. 
42. Saxicola bifasciata. 
But few specimens of this bird came under my notice. I 
procured a male, however, on a journey from Potchefstroom 
to Lydenburg; it was flitting about the stones on a hill-side 
near Wittewater Band. I have since seen it between Pot¬ 
chefstroom and Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, always on 
elevations, and never on the plains. 
43. Pratincola torquata. 
I procured a female of this bird at Macamac, and received 
a specimen from near Pretoria in 1874,
