 Occurred all the way along route, though nowhere very 



numerous. 



51. EuTOLMAETUS SPILOGASTER. African Hawk-Eagle. 



T saw what I conceived to have been an individual of this 

 species on the Lugenda River. 



52. EuToLMAETUs BELLicosus. Martial Eagle. 



None met with east of the Msalu River, thence to the 

 Lugenda a few seen ; but everywhere uncommon.

54. Helotarsus ecaudatus. Bateleur.

55. AsTURiNULA monogrammica. African Buzzard- 

 Eagle. 



A few specimens seen in the bush country. 



56. MiLVUs iEGYPTius. Yellow-biUed Kite. 



Very common throughout, from the coast to the foot of the 

 mountains, especially near human habitations. In three 

 specimens shot at the Lugenda the edges of the feathers of 

 the crown and nape were grey vnth dark brown centres, but 

 in all other respects the birds were plumaged as in Sclater's 

 description of M. cegiiptivs. 



(This bird, which had left the Transvaal Low ( Country by 

 the middle of March, was first met with on the northward 

 voyage at Mozambique, where a very few were noticed. At 

 Ibo and Pemba it was very numerous in July, and, as stated 

 above, throughout the province in July and August. The 

 first birds returned to the Eastern Transvaal about the L5th 

 of September.)
