23. The ' South African Journal.' 



[Tlie Jouraal of the South African Ornithologists' Union. Vol. v. 

 No. 3 ; Vol. vi. No. 1 (August, 1910).] 



As the third number of the fifth volume of our con- 

 temporary only contains the Index^ JMinutes of Proceedings, 

 and so forth, we are only concerned with the first number of 

 the succeeding volume. This contains the Migration Report 

 of South Africa for 1908-1909, and a special article on that 

 of the White Stork by ]\Ir. Ilaagner; no less than nine 

 Storks " ringed " by the Vogelwarte Rossitten and the Royal 

 Hungarian Bureau have been met with in the country, 

 and of these occiirrences particulars are given Avhere 

 possible. 



JMr. C. G. Davies furnishes us with '' A Second Contri- 

 bution to the Ornithology of Eastern P(mdoland/' including 

 both migratory and breeding species of birds; and Mr. F. 

 Vauglian-Kirby contributes interesting tield-nutes on the 

 recently discovered Hemipteryx uirmda. A new species of 

 Flycatcher, Hyliota rhodesia, is described by Mr. Haagner 

 from the Matoppo Hills in Rhodesia; but he is careful to 

 warn us that it may prove to be only an example of 

 H. australis in a plumage unknown to him.
