seeing that in all proba])ility she would not be alive the next 
morning I gave her her liberty. The young bird soon became 
extremely tame and would take flies from my hand without any 
hesitation or signs of fear. It was the 22nd November when I 
caught it. I kept it in perfect liealth in an ordinary Canary 
show cage until the middle of January when it died on the 
voyage to England. It was very fond of a bath and there were 
few days on which it did not take one. 
I found these birds comparatively plentiful in certain parts 
of the veldt where several species of heath grew in abundance. 
The}' take little notice of you, and on several occasions I have 
approached them within a couple of yards and listened to them 
warbling their sweet, but rather faint, little song. 
My brother writes to say he lately saw a yellow Wagtail 
near Port Elizabeth, and lie understands this is the first time 
it has been reported as having occurred in the colony. It was 
afterwards ])rocured for the Museum. It might be interesting to 
others, l)esides myself, to know if this bird occurs in any other 
part of South Africa, and if it is correct, that it has not pre- 
viously been found in Cape Colony.

Glancing through some of our back numbers the other 
day I came across, in the September issue, 1907, an account 
of our Yellow- winged Sugar Bird (Saz), and I wondered if our 
members would care to hear more about him, as he is still with 
us, and as clo.se and brilliant as when Mr. Goodchild painted his 
portrait. 
Just before the account appeared, viz., in August, 1907, in 
an evil moment, we thought we would try him with some tiny 
young mealworms. He took readily enough to them, and, in 
fact, ate more than was good for him ; the result being that he 
had a fit.
