666 BIRDS OF SOUTH AFRICA. 
may at times be seen in Damara Land ; but it is never common, and 
very shy. All my Damara specimens were procured at Otjimbinque, 
in the moist bed of the river Swakop.’”? Senor Anchieta has 
procured one young specimen at Benguela.

The members of the genus Lobivanellus may be distinguished by 
having a spur on the wing, four toes, and by having the bill lobed. 
Only one species is ordinarily met with in South Africa, and it does 
not appear to be found in the western parts of the colony. Mr. 
Rickard, however, informs us that it occurs near Port Elizabeth, but 
is very scarce there. Mr. Buckley met with it once in the Transvaal 
in November, and Mr. Ayres says that a few of these Plovers 
occasionally find their way to Potchefstroom and the neighbourhood ; 
they are, however, very rare visitants. It was seen in Mashoona 
Land during Mr. Jameson’s expedition. Mr. Andersson gives the 
following note: ‘I have met with this large Plover on the rivers 
Okavango and Teoughe, at Lake N’gami, and in Ondonga in the 
rainy season, when it is occasionally to be found in small flocks, 
though more frequently in pairs or singly. It frequents the banks 
of streams and the sides of marshy places; but though it appears 
to find its food, consisting of insects and small mollusca, in the 
immediate neighbourhood of such localities, I have never observed 
that it approaches the water very closely.” Mr. Monteiro met with 
the species in Benguela, and several examples have been procured by 
Anchieta at Caconda, Huilla, and Humbe. Professor Bocage states 
that it also occurred in a collection made by Messrs. Capello and Ivens 
at Quango, where it is known to the natives by the name of Moko.
