N E W B I R D S U R V E Y R E C O R D S J M E two birds on the accompanying photographs constitute excellent examples o f what can be attained through public interest and co-operation.

The young open-billed stork (“oop-bek ooie- v a a r " , A nastom us

lam elligerusj (left), was found dead at a dam near Welkom, by

Dr J . B . Da vi es .

Realising that it could possibly be the first scientific record in the O.F.S. o f this inhabi­ tant o f tropical Africa and M adagascar, he brought it to the Mu­ seum, where his suspi­ cions were confirmed. The excellent rains o f the last summer must have contributed to­ wards a temporary en­ largement o f the distri­ bution area o f this spe­ cies, when numerous sightings were also re­ corded in the Transvaal

The other photograph shows a white-browed coucal (**vleiloerie”, Centropus superciliosusj which was seriously injured when found at the homestead o f Mr N. Meyer o f Merinoplaas, Bloemfontein, who donated it to the Museum. Although this coucal is not an uncommon bird in the northern districts o f our Province, this particular one constitutes an important scientific record on the southern limits o f its distribution area.

The photographs depict the birds after they were mounted by taxidermist Sjoerd van Ee, for display purposes.
