it hawks backwards and forwards over the same stretch of 
ground ; in Gorongoza it seemed very partial to the native 
lands, where it just flew clear of the heads of the standing 
grain. After several turns the birds frequently settled on the 
topmost and outstanding branches of dead trees, where they 
could be easily approached ; they shewed no fear even when a 
shot was fired near them. The call and flight of this species 
resemble those of H. holomeleena, but it is not nearly so silent. 
The soft parts are Lilies dark brown ; bill black; legs 
and toes dark brown.]

[The specimen secured is the only one that I have seen. 
It was accidentally caught in a springe set for Petrodromus 
tetradactylus in the Gorongoza forests. On enquiring from 
the natives, they said the bird was plentiful, but although I 
was continually on the look-out I did not see it, and could 
not learn the call, if it had any. My boys further told me 
that it was not essentially a ground-bird, but was equally at 
home among the branches, but, of course, I could not verify 
this. 
The soft parts are :—-Irides dark brown ; bill blackish 
brown, lighter at tip and middle of lower mandible ; legs and 
toes fleshy white.]

A summer visitor, breeding in fair numbers on the barren 
hillsides, and probably also locally in the low ground. 
Whitehead found it plentiful after the end of April, and 
breeding, but failed to obtain any nests. Giglioli, however,
