428 Mr. C. F. M. Swynnerton on the 



233. Phalacrocorax africanus. Long-tailed Cormorant. 

 Singuni : " Inyaopetana.'^ (P. lucidus of my last paper, 



' Ibis/ 1907, p. 304.) 



E-h., P. lu the lowlands I met with this Cormorant on 

 November 25th at the pools near Zinyumbo's kraal and 

 found it to be quite plentiful, mostly in full black plumage, 

 at the large pools, already mentioned, near Chibabava. 

 There it was to be found both in the water and perched, 

 sometimes in parties of four or five, on the branches of the 

 large trees on the banks. Two females measured 22*1 and 

 22*6 inches respectively in the flesh and the stomachs 

 contained the remains of fishes and of insects, the latter 

 probably aquatic. The irides were carmine, the bare patch 

 round the eye was yellowish grey ; the lower mandible pale 

 yellowish brown and the upper deeper brown, both with 

 darker transverse markings, the actual culmen being 

 blackish. 



234. Pelecanus rose us. Eastern White Pelican. 



P. This Pelican appears to occur on our coast, as I have 

 been shown a portion of a skin which was stated to have 

 come from the mouth of the Buzi. 



235. Ciconia nigra. Black Stork. 



Rh. On September 2nd, 1906, three of these birds 

 settled for a few minutes on the summit of the higher trees 

 on the Chirinda outskirts. 



236. Scopus umbretta. Hamraerkop. 

 Singuni : " Itegwana." 



Rh., P. The only locality in which [ noted this bird 

 during my low-veld journey was on the Buzi River at 

 Chibabava. 



237. Ardea cinerea. Grey Heron. 



P. On 21st December I saw quite a number of these 

 Herons on the sandbanks between Malata and the mouth of 

 the Buzi. 



238. Ardea goliath. Goliath Heron. 



P. Three enormous Herons with very dark under parts.
