The European Golden Oriole arrives in Damara Land 

 with the return of the rainy season ; but it is compara- 

 tively rare, and very few adult birds are seen ; it is exces- 

 sively shy and difficult to approach, both when perched 

 on lofty trees and also when gliding rapidly through 

 the underwood. Its food consists of insects and fruits.

 by Mr. Andersson in Ondouga. — Ed.]
