Mr. T. Ayres on the Ornithology of Transvaal. 219 



Transvaal specimens which he has sent me, two were shot in 

 November, one in December, four in January, one in Feb- 

 ruary, and two in March. — J. H. G.] 



AsTURiNULA MONOGRAMMiCA (Tcmm.) . One - streaked 

 Hawk. 



Male, immature, shot near Rustenburg, 30th June, 1882. 

 Eye brown ; legs and cere red. 



Male, adult, same locality, 21st July, 1882. Eye dark 

 brick-red; legs and cere red. The stomach of this speci- 

 men contained the remains of a large lizard. In habits this 

 species resembles the Bush-Hawks; it settles on high trees, 

 but not on the top ; it is quick on the wiug, but is usually 

 not so shy as most others of its family. 



ScELospiziAS POLYZONOIDES (Smith). Smith's Many -banded 

 Hawk. 



Female, adult, shot 29th June, 1881. 



JNIale, immature in change to adult dress, shot 17th July, 

 a 882. 



This species is never plentiful, but more are to be seen in 

 our winter than in our summer months, possibly in conse- 

 quence of the foliage being then less dense. The stomach 

 of one of the specimens sent contained mice. 



359. NiSAETUs BELLicosus (Daud.). Martial Hawk-Eagle. 



A friend of mine, with whom I was out shooting on the 

 hills a few miles from Potchefstroom, managed to kill a 

 magnificent Eagle of this species which had been making a 

 meal off a steinbuck. 



[Mr. Ayres was not able to send me this specimen, but I 

 have no doubt that he correctly identified it. 



I have recently been informed by Count T. Salvadori that 

 a collection made in Schoa by the late Marquis Antinori 

 contains no less than seven exaiuples of this fine species. —

3G0. NisAETUs spiLOGASTER (Du Bus) . Du Bus's Hawk- 

 Eagle. • 



Female, adult, shot near Bustenburg, 29th June, 1882.
