Centrupcjs senegalensis. (Lark-heeled Cuckoo.) 
Sharpe, ed. Layard^s B. S. Afr. p. 162. 
Very plentiful and remarkably tame, even coming to our 
tent to eat porridge thrown out to them. 
Ceuthmochares australis. (South African Coucal.) 
Op. cit. p. 161, pi. v. fig. 1. 
Like a Loury this bird creeps about the branches of the 
trees. It has a peculiar long-drawn cry, preceded by a loud 
clucking note.

Op. cit. p. 172. 
Abundant.

resembles the metallic note of the Tinker Barbet ( B.pusilla ), 
which is not found in this district.
