23. The e South African Journal / 
[The Journal of the South African Ornithologists’ Union. Yol. v. 
No. 3; Yol. vi. No. 1 (August, 1910).] 
As the third number of the fifth volume of our con¬ 
temporary only contains the Index, Minutes 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 Mr. Haagner; 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 occurrences particulars are given where 
possible. 
Mr. C. G. Davies furnishes us with “ A Second Contri¬ 
bution to the Ornithology of Eastern Pondoland/* including 
both migratory and breeding species of birds; and Mr. F. 
Vaughan-Kirby contributes interesting field-notes on the 
recently discovered Hemipteryx minuta . A new species of 
Flycatcher, Hyliota rhodesice , 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.

[Two new Owls from Arizona, with the Description of the Juvenal
