184 Mr. C G. Davies on Birds observed 



35. Macronyx croceus. Yellow-throated Long-claw, 

 Scarce. Connnonest at the mouth of Umtamvuna River 



on the Natal border ; scarcer as one goes south. Onlv found 

 on low-lying country near the coast. In my opinion the note 

 is very different from M. capensis, and they are also much 

 fonder of perching on trees, almost invariably doing so on 

 being flushed.

 Scarce. One specimen, cJ, Bizana. 



37. Anthus pyrrhonotus. Cinnamon-backed Pipit.

Local. Fairly common at Flagstaff. Grenerally found in 

 the mealie-lands in pairs. 



39. MoTACiLLA vidua. African Pied Wagtail. 



Found commonly on the larger rivers, especially at the 

 mouths.

 Not common, but generally distributed. Usually found 



on rocky streams, especially those running through bushy 

 kloofs. 



41. Promerops gurneyi. Natal Long-tailed Sugar Bird. 

 Rather scarce and somewhat migratory ; only found in 



the higher ground. Generally present when the aloes are 

 in bloom. It is also fond of the flowers of the blue gum. 

 Flaostaff and Bizana.
