802 BIRDS OF SOUTH AFRICA. 
Page 76. Insert :—Syrnium nucuate, Sharpe. Fantee Wood Owl. 
In the same collection as Scotopelia peli and Cerchneis ardesiaca was 
an example of this bird also, which was said, like the others, 
to have been collected on the upper Quanza. Mr. Whitely, of 
Woolwich, through whose hands this collection passed, believed 
the locality to be thoroughly genuine, but he may have been 
deceived by the person who sold the collection to him. 
Similar to S. woodfordi, but much darker in colour; the hind neck 
marked with broad white bands, the breast dark brown broadly 
banded with white. 
Page 77. CARINE CAPENSIS. 
This species should stand as Glaucidiwm capense (cf. Sharpe, Cat. B. 
Brit. Mus. ii, p. 223). 
A common bird throughout Mashoona Land (Ayres). 
Page 77. CARINE PERIATA. 
This species also belongs to Glaucidiwm, and should stand as Glau- 
cidium perlatum (cf. Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. ii, p. 209). 
- Huilla, Kiulo, and Humbe; native name Cahombo (Anchieta). 
Near Rustenberg (Ayres).

(B., F., and R.).

Page 81. Srrix cAPENsIs. 
Common, but not so numerous as Asto capensis, in the Newcastle 
district. Reid found a pair at Richmond Road Camp, near 
Pietermaritzburg, on the 5th of December, and obtained a female 
which contained three enormously developed eggs, and was 
evidently just about to nest (B., F., and R.). 
Sand Spruit, Transvaal (F. Oates). 
Page 82. Srrix FLAMMEA.

scarce there (Bradshaw).
