44. Otis denhami. 



Otis denhami Childr. ; Reich, loc. cit. p. 245. 



No. 760. ? . Luena R., E. of L. Bangweolo, 4000 ft., 

 Oct. 7. 1908. 



Bill brownish, lower mandible dirty white, tipped with 

 brown ; feet dirty yellowish white ; iris hazel. 



This bird occurred sparingly, and usually singly, on the 

 open plains in the Kalungwisi District and to the east of 

 L. Bangweolo. It is shy, and when alarmed runs at a con- 

 siderable speed. It is easily recognisable at a considerable 

 distance by the bright rufous colour of the back of its 

 neck. 



45. Otis kori. 



Otis kori Bureh.; Reich, loc. cit. vol. i. p. 242. 



I saw one of these fine birds on the Upper Lufupa River, 

 near the watershed, in Oct. 1907, but I did not succeed in 

 shooting it. 



Fam. Griiuk. 



46. Bugeranus carunculatus (Gm.) ; Reich, loc. cit. 

 p. 262. 



Nos. 508. 509. S ? • Chambezi Valley, 1000 ft., April 19, 

 1905. 



Bill pale reddish brown, wattled base dull red ; feet and 

 legs black ; iris orange-yellow. 



This species is not uncommon in the open country on the 

 High Plateau, especially in the L. Bangweolo district. It is 

 not at all shy. It is usually in pairs, but I have sometimes 

 seen as many as five individuals together. 



47. Balearica regulorum. 



Balearica regulorum (Bennett) ; Reich, loc. cit. vol. i. 

 p. 265. 



This bird is not uncommon in small parties, especially in 

 low-lying river-valleys. It is frequently to be seen more or 

 less domesticated.
