This handsome Starling appears to be migratory and to 

 visit this part of Africa from October onwards. It is not 

 present in the country during the dry season. It is usually 

 to be found on fruit-trees in " Msitu."

3fi9. CORVULTUR ALBICOLLIS. 



Corvultur albicollis (Lath.) ; Neave, loc. cit. p. 103. 



This Crow occurs over a wide area, but is nowhere very 

 common. It frequents hilly country and is usually seen in 

 pairs. 



.'^70. CORVUS SCAPULATUS. 



Corvus scapulatus Daud.; Neave, loc. cit. p. 103. 



This bird is very local, and seems, where it does occur, to 

 be more than half domesticated, as I have never seen it away 

 from the outskirts of native villages. It is enormously 

 abundant in the villages on the shores and islands of 

 Lake Bangweolo. It is extremely tame, and may be seen 

 perched on the roofs of the huts or on the ground within a 

 few feet of natives.
