Mr. W. L. Sclater on Birds collected 
privilege of working out this extensive collection and for 
his help and advice in so doing. 
The classification and nomenclature follows almost exactly 
the u Check-list of South-Afriean Birds/’ published by mein 
1905 (Annals S. Afr. Mus. iii. pp. 303-387), which is founded 
on the four volumes of the ( Birds of South Africa/ by myself 
and Dr. Stark. 
The numbers in front of the names of the birds are those 
in the above-mentioned Check-list. Where a species does 
not occur in the check-list a reference is given to Reichenow’s 
‘ Vogel Afrikas.’ 
In order to save space and reduce the size of this paper, 
the specimens of each species collected are arranged under 
the headings of CC., N., Z., Tv., and P., standing for Cape 
Colony, Natal, Zululand, Transvaal, and Portuguese East 
Africa respectively. Oidy the month of capture is given, 
unless the bird is known to be a migrant, and the number of 
specimens from each locality is placed in brackets. All the 
localities will be found in the sketch-map (text-figure 8, 
p. 213). Mr. Claude Grant’s field- and other notes are en¬ 
closed in square brackets to distinguish them from my own 
comments. 
1. CoRVULTUR ALBICOLLIS. 
Z. Sibudeni, Dec. 16 (4) ; P. Tambarara, Mch. (1). 
[“ Ikwaubaba ” of Zulus. 
The White-necked Raven was observed in almost every 
locality visited and is usually found in pairs. In the way of 
food nothing appears to come amiss to it. The call is a harsh 
croak, very similar to that of the European Raven, and 
the flight is strong and very powerful. This bird breeds in 
holes and ledges on krantzes, but I have not succeeded in 
taking the eggs.] 
2. CoRVUS SCAPULATUS. 
Tv. Pietersburg, Mch. 2 (1); Z. Ntondweni, Aug. (1) ; 
Umfolosi, Sept. (1) ; P. Coguno, June (1). 
[“ Bonte Kraai ” of Colonists. 
The Black-and-White Crow was seen in many localities
