6 Mr. C. F. M. Swynnerton o?i the 



My thanks are also due to Mr. D. M. Stanley for much 

 interesting information. 



The following list, which, together with a few mentioned 

 in my last paper hut not again in this, comprises about 

 three hundred species, includes several further additions to 

 the South African Fauna. 



The nomenclature and arrangement, unless otherwise 

 specified, are those of Mr. W. L. Sclater's ' Fauna of 

 South Africa.' 



The native names are given in the two local languages, 

 Chindao and Singuni. 



1. CoRVULTUR ALBicoLLis. Wliitc-necked Raven. 

 Singuni : " Iqugwana " (Zulu (j) or " Ingwababa," Chin-

 to the nortli it finds its limit as a dominant species in 

 Mashonaland, between Marandclla and Salisbury, at the 

 former of which places it is plentiful. It is the common 

 Crow at IJmtali. I have noted it in tlie Chimanimani 

 Mountains and in the lower Jihu, but in the latter locality 

 it appears to be somewhat scarce. It occasionally follows 

 the plougli ; and two instances of its attacking young 

 chickens have recently come to ray notice. A male recently 

 shot by Odendaal measured 20 62 inches in the fiesh. A 

 stomach which I examined contained mealies and small 

 beetles. 



2. CoRvus scAPULATus. Pied Crow. 

 Chindao : " Chigombe." 



llh., P. A pair of these CroMs again built at Odendaal's 

 homestead this season ; and on two or three occasions 

 during the past year I have seen them or recognised 

 their peculiar broken croak. On Sept, 2nd one of a party 

 of three, evidently passing through from the lowlands, 

 descended and commenced to feed on some scraps at my 

 doors ; but I found them very shy, a great contrast to
