Mr. S. A. Neave on the Birds of 
No. 504. $ . Chambezi Valley, April 17, 1908. 
Bill brownish olive ; feet greenish olive ; iris brown. 
I only met with this bird on a large swamp called 
Nashinga in the Upper Chambezi Valley. It takes 
to wing more readily and flies more strongly than 
Actophilus africanus. 
Fam. Glareolim.

dark brown. 
This bird occurred sparingly, feeding on the newly burnt 
ground, on the plains of the Kalungwisi Valley, in September, 
and again near L. Young at the beginning of November. I 
never saw it elsewhere.

This handsome little bird is not uncommon in rocky places

Specimen no. 430 contained a fully developed egg. This 
is of the usual Glareola type, being white, thickly covered 
with distinct spots and scribblings of blackish brown and
