This bird differs somewhat in its habits from other species 
of the genus. It usually frequents long grass on the edges 
of patches of forest. It utters from time to time a few 
notes of a singularly sweet tone.

No. 516. <£. Chambezi Valley, 4000 ft., May 1, 1908. 
Bill black; base of lower mandible blue-grey; feet olive- 
grey; iris dark brown. 
This seems a rare bird. The few individuals that I have 
seen formed members of a “ bird-party,” and were silently 
hunting through the trees for insects.
