during a journey to the Matabili Country. 
Only observed in this place, but was probably migrating. 
It is shy and restless, continually flying from one tree to 
another, generally in the same line of flight. It flies like our 
common Cuckoo, but rather more deliberately; its note, too, 
in the same manner, is more slowly uttered, the first syllable 
not being in such a high key.

night.

Beak black; legs brownish black; iris dark red. 
Very commonly seen during our return journey, from 
which it appears the bird is a summer visitant. I found it 
throughout the Bamangwato and North Transvaal districts.
