The Yellow-billed Hornbill has been noted at the 
Hluhluwe Stream, Zululand, the Klein Letaba, and in the 
Tete district of Portuguese East Africa. It was not seen in 
the other localities visited; and as it is a striking species it 
cannot easily be overlooked. It was by no means common 
in Zululand, or in the Tete district, but was very plentiful at 
the Klein Letaba. It inhabits bush country, usually singly 
or in pairs, and was seen sitting on the top of thorn-trees or 
halfway up a Mopani : it feeds on fruit and berries and 
insects of all kinds, for which it visits grass-fires. The flight 
is quite Hornbill-like, and the cry is a single loud and clear 
note, a sort of cross between a mew and a whistle. 
The soft parts of an adult are:—Irides bright yellow; 
bare skin round eyes, base of cheeks, and throat pale flesh- 
coloured ; bill yellow-chrome, tips and cutting-edge of both 
mandibles blackish.]

was obtained at Woodbush on January 29. It is green 
above, much as is the adult, but has a number of con¬ 
spicuous white spots on the coverts and inner secondaries;
