Ramesan, JN. 1918 St. Rames [contd] old-mew slender-br[illegible]-eyed Vinea rimu altit: Africa griseus 27/1/ [munms]A Vt 31/1/ From the 8th of December, 1907 to the 1st of March, 1908, I was in the field. The birds were very scarce and it is difficult to know the number of species seen. The overall size of the bird was about that of a Haliaeetus Vinea - small, slender, and round-headed with large headed bill. A few of no other bird is mentioned hereafter - with a conspicuous yellow forehead, white wingbars, whitish throat, yellow breast/ridger feathers, and white under of belly.
