200 Mr. (,'. G. Diivies on Birds observed 



183. ViNAGO DELALANDii. Delaliinde's Green Pigeon. 

 Not uncommon and generally distributed all over the forest 



country. 



184. CoLUMBA PH^ONOTA. Speckled Pigeon. 

 Rather common in localities where there are cliffs. 



185. CoLUMBA ARQUATRix. Olive Pigeon. 

 Sometimes these Pigeons are very common in the forests 



round Flagstaff and Lusikisiki, at other times they are scarce. 

 Probably they are attracted by certain fruit. I believe they 

 sometimes breed in the wooded kloofs round Flagstaff, but 

 I have not found any nests. The males and females are 

 about the same size, but the males can be told by their greyer 

 colouring and the almost white forehead, the female having 

 this part much darker ash. The spots on the wings of the 

 male are larger and more numerous. 



186. TuRTURCENA DELAGORGUEi. Dclagorguc^s Pigeon. 

 Rare. I only know of one locality where this Pigeon is 



found, viz. the Goza forest, about 15 miles from Lusikisiki, 

 where I shot a male and female in May 1905. 



187. TuRTUR SEMiTORQUATQS. Red-eyed Dove. 

 Rather common, especially near the coast. 



188. TuRTUR CAPICOLA. Cape Turtle Dove. 

 Very common everywhere, except near the coast. 



189. TuRTUR SENEGALENSis. Laughing Dove. 



Not common, and only found in the thorn-bush in the 

 valleys. 



190. CEna capensis. Namaqua Dove. 



Very rare. I obtained one specimen, (^ adult. 

 This is the only specimen I have ever seen or heard of having 

 been obtained in Pondoland. 



191. Tympanistria bicolor. Tambourine Dove. 



Not uncommon in the bushy kloofs and deep river valleys ; 

 its note is very similar to that of the next species, but deeper. 



192. Chalcopelia afra. Emerald Spotted Dove. 

 Not uncommon in the thorn-scrub in the valleys.
