42 On It'll lierto unreconled Birds fro))i the Tnuisraal, 



44:7. Indicator minor. (Lesser Honey-Guide.) 

 A single specimen was obtained at Irene in 1904. [L.E.T.] 

 I can find no record of this bird having been previously 

 obtained in the Transvaal, but it is widely distributed in all 

 tiie other South African colonies. Whilst I was digging out 

 a bees' nest at Irene last December (1905) one of these birds 

 ])orched on a tree within a few yards of me, and watched my 

 o})erations with considerable interest, uttering at intervals 

 its call-note. I saw a i)air subsequently on several occasions. 



446. Inuicatok variegatus. (Scaly-throated Honey- 

 Guide.) 



? . 9.9.0.5. Magab IS Kloof, Zoutpansberg. [L. E. T.] 



This species has only previously })een recorded, from Southern 

 Cape Colony and Zululand, so that its range may now be 

 regarded as considerably extended. 



5.54. Poi.YBOROiDES TYPICUS. (Harrier Hawk.) 



Obtained in the Great Letaba Valley, Zoutpansberg, in 

 Sej>tember 1905. [C. H. T.] 



This Hawk appears to be fairly common in the low 

 country of the Zoutpansberg District, and is frequently shot 

 by farmers there: not hitherto recorded from the Transvaal. 



A snake was found in the sromach of one specimen 

 j)rocured. 



()40. Tympanistria bicolor. (Tambourine Dove.) 

 A single specinien was obtained at Krabbefontein, Zout- 

 pansberg District, on the (jth September J 905. [L. E. T.] 



This species ranges through the forest regions of Ca[)e ( "olony, 

 Natal, and Zululand. I was informed by Mr. Altenroxel (of 

 the Tzaneen Tobacco Factory) that during a residence of 

 thirteen years in the Great Letaba Valley he had only ob- 

 served this species once, and a keen and trustworthy observer 

 j't Leeuw's Creek also told me that it was regarded as a known 

 but very rare bird in tlie l^arberton district. It has not 

 hitherto Ijeen recorded from the Transvaal.
