and collected ia Poiidolanl. 201 



193. Haplopelia larvata. Lemon Dove. 



Not uncommon in the forest country and wooded kloofs 

 They feed mostly on the ground, and are hard to shoot, as 

 they dash through the undergrowth. 



194. Fkancolinus levaillanti. Cape Redwing. 



Not common. The Kaffirs give these Francolins no chance, 

 killing them whenever they can. 



195. Pternistes nudicollis. Red-necked Francolin. 

 One often hears the call of these birds in the bushy valleys, 



but they are very hard to get, as they run into the thick 

 scrub on the slightest alarm. The Kaffirs sometimes catch 

 them in trivps. 



196. CoTURNix africana. Cape Quail. 



These Quail generally arrive in September and leave again 

 in December ; some years they are very plentiful. Some 

 appear to remain the whole year. 



197. TuRXix LEPURANA. Kurrichane Hemipode. 

 Scarce. I have seen only one specimen, an adult male, 



shot at Flagstaff in January 1905. 



198. TuRNix NANA. Natal Hemipode. 

 Not common, but generally distributed. 



199. Crex pratensis. European Corn Crake. 

 Scarce. I have shot two specimens. 



S adult. Flagstaff, November 1904. 

 (^ adult. Bizana, December 1905. 



200. Ortygometra pusilla. Baillon's Crake. 



It is hard to tell how common these birds are owing to 

 their skulking habits. 1 have shot one or two in a marsh 

 close to Lusikisiki. 



201. Sarothrura lineata. Jardine's Crake. 



Rare. ^ and ? , Flagstaff, September 1904. Flushed 

 out of long grass. 



202. Gallinula chloropus. Moor-Hen. 



Not common. 1 have seen a few of these birds amonij; the 

 reeds of some of the larger rivers.
