HUNTING IN THE SOTIK 197 



the honey tree, round which it was flitting, occasionally 

 twittering. When they came toward the tree it perched 

 silent and motionless in another, and thus continued while 

 they took some honey a risky business, as the bees were 

 vicious. They did not observe what the bird then did; 

 but Cuninghame told me that in one instance where a 

 honey bird led him to honey he carefully watched it and 

 saw it picking up either bits of honey and comb, or else, 

 more probably, the bee grubs out of the comb, he could 

 not be certain which. 



To my mind no more interesting incident occurred at 

 this camp.
