The European Golden Oriole arrives in Damara Land 

 with the return of the rainy season ; but it is compara- 

 tively rare, and very few adult birds are seen ; it is exces- 

 sively shy and difficult to approach, both when perched 

 on lofty trees and also when gliding rapidly through 

 the underwood. Its food consists of insects and fruits. 



[Mr. Sharpe possesses an example of this species obtained 

 by Mr. Andersson in Ondonga. — Ed.J
