We have likewise seen one collected by Dr. Bradshaw on the
Zambesi, and a specimen was obtained by Mr. Jameson’s expedition
on the TJmvnli River in Mashoona Land.
Distinguished by the light grey upper surface with no black on the
forehead; the lores, sides of face, throat, and fore-neck blackish
slate-colour, the rest of the under surface white. Total length
9 inches ; wing, 5'65. In the female the whole under surface
is white with a crescent-like band of clear grey on the fore-neck.

Mouse-coloured Wood Shrike.
The original specimen was collected by Senor Anchieta a t Caconda, in
Benguela ; it seems to us probable th a t it is allied to B. oatesi, if
indeed it is not identical with that species.

They are fond of attending grass fires in common with Herons,
Rollers, Hornhills, and Bee-eaters, to catch insects flying from the
flames, and they often almost d a rt into the fire (Bradshaw).
