38 Mr, D. A. Bannerman on an Ornithological 



Leaving this locality — our last real camp — we made for 

 Tshinshenda, and on the way saw two or three Pearl-spotted 

 Owlets [Glaucidium pei'latum), which I had not previously 

 noted, and also a larger species which Avas probably referable 

 to Bubo maculosus — ""magungwi/^ "When we were at 

 Kalonga one of our " boys '^ brought me a fledgeling Spotted 

 Eagle-Owl. 



Arriving back at Elisabethville before Christmas, I saw a 

 Pin-tailed Widow-bird [Vidua serend) in town and also 

 a blue Kingfisher, apparently similar to the birds met 

 with near Mandoko and on the Escarpment, but with a black 

 bill, and thus agreeing altogether with others which I came 

 across on the Moushosi River.
