[This fine species was hitherto known from a pair of birds only, which were purchased a few years back from a dealer by the British Museum, and were stated to have come from the Victoria Falls. Mr. Oates has now established the Zambesi region to be the habitat of the species, and has also procured it 300 miles off the place whence the first specimens were obtained. The occurrence of Shelley’s Wheatear so far south as the Ramaqueban River is very interesting, as we may now expect that it will be found still farther to the southwards.] 73.
