N. Rhodesia and Katanga District of Conguland. 105 



Bill and cere yellow ; feet yellow, claws black j iris 

 reddish brown. 



These Kites are so common as to be a considerable 

 nuisance in camp. They seem only to be present in the 

 country from about the beginning of August to the end of 

 March. When on the Upper Lufupa R., in September 1907, 

 I saw many hundreds of these birds together, apparently on 

 their southward spring migration.
