10 Mr. C. G. Davies on ^Z<^ 



261. CoLius iNDicus, Lath, lled-taced Mouse-bird. 



I have oidj mot with tliis species on one occasion, when I 

 came across a flock amongst some scrub-bush near the sea at 

 Port St. John. 



262. Iynx ruficollis, Wagl. S. African Wryneck. 

 Not uncommon along the Umtamvuna Kiver from March 



till September, l)ut I have met with it elsewhere. 



20n. CucULUS CANORUS, L. European CUickoo. 



This is a scarce bird in E. Pondoland, and although T 

 believe I have seen it on one or two oeca-ions, the only- 

 specimen I have secured was an adult male picked up by 

 some natives with its wing broken and in a starving 

 condition. 



2G4. Clamator GLANDARius (L.). Great Spotted Cuckoo. 



This species seems to be rare. 1 shot an adult ma'e near 

 the Umtamvuna E-iver on the 6.9.08. This is the only one 

 I have seen. 



2G5. Clamator hypopinarius, Cab. & Heine. Black-and- 

 Grey Cuckoo. 



I have received a single s[)ecimen (an adult female) from 

 ('Oi})l. J. A. Aris, shot near his station on the Umtamvuna. 

 I have not met with the species myself. 



2()G. Strix flammea, L. Barn Owl. 



I have not been able to procure a sj)ecimen of this Owl, 

 but am sure it occurs, as I have often heard the note at 

 )iight and have found feathers under krantzes. 



20 7. CiRCAiiTUS pectoralis, A. Sni. Black-breasted 

 Harrier-Eagle. 



This species appears to be more or less migratory : they 

 appear in fair numbers along the river valleys in the 

 spring, and after staving a day or two the majority seem 

 to disappear. A fine adult was shot by Mr. Allison )iear 

 Lusikisiki.
