Mr. G. H. Gurney on 
The Brown-headed Chat-Thrusli was a common species at 
Kallima Theki, and a long series, which shewed a consider¬ 
able amount of variation, was obtained. 
98. Bradyornis pumilio. Grey Bobin-Shrike. 
Bradyornis pumilio Sharpe. 
Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 
A secretive, lurking bird, always difficult to obtain, of 
which only two examples were shot, both at Kallima Theki. 
99. Bradyornis grisea. 
Bradyornis grisea Beichen. 
Examples of this common bird were obtained on the Athi 
Biver and at Kapiti. 
100. Bradyornis ater. Black Flycatcher. 
Bradyornis ater Sundev. 
Bill and legs black. 
Widely distributed, but in my experience an uncommon 
species. 
101. Dioptroknis fischeri. Fischer's Bobin-Shrike. 
Dioptrornis fischeri Fischer & Beichen. 
Iris brown; bill horn-blue ; feet black. 
Fischer's Bobin-Shrike was fairly common wherever we 
went, in suitable localities. 
102. Batis puella. Sylph-like Flycatcher. 
Bails puella Beichen. 
Bill and legs black. 
This Flycatcher was seen amongst the tops of the tall trees. 
It had a harsh, rather discordant little song, and seemed to 
be of a quarrelsome disposition, as I saw it fly out and 
attack another of its own species, almost in the same way as 
a Drongo or Shrike would. 
103. Terpsiphone suahelica. East-African Paradise 
Flycatcher. 
Terpsiphone perspicillata suahelica Beichen. 
Iris brown, eyelids blue; bill and legs slate-coloured. 
The Paradise Flycatcher was generally obtained amongst 
high trees and always in the vicinity of water.
