The Ostrich, Junie 1964
TENTH RINGING REPORT
I
G. R. Mclachlan

HoN. Onc.rlqsrn RrNcrNc
This report covers the year 1 July 1959 to June 30 1960. In addition a short addendum is given of
recoveries, which, for one reason or another, were omitted from previous reports, or were sent in too
late for inclusion.
The C.S.I.R. has continued its most valuable financial support and this has greatly eased the task
of compiling these Annual Reports. As mentioned in the Ninth Report, Schedule "B" can now be done
extremely quickly and a method of speeding up Schedule "C" has also been evolved.
As usual we are indebted to the Director and staff of the Pretoria Zoological Gardens in Pretoria
for their co-operation in forwarding all recoveries from Pretoria. This service must be a constant source
of interruption and extra work; particularly as the scheme expands but the staff continues to do it for
us cheerfully and efficiently.
As may be seen from Schedule '0B", fewer birds were ringed than during the previous year but the
total is still satisfactory bearing in mind the reduced activity of the Department of Agriculture with
its Quelea survey.
The most striking feature of this report is the large number of birds ringed here and recovered
from Russia and other localities outside the Republic. These spectacular recoveries may not be the most
important aspect of ringing but they do stimulate ringers to greater efforts and compensate for the
tedious hours of routine ringing.
The Latitude and Longitude of localities not mentioned before are as follows:
Guriev, Russia: 47" 15'N.; 51" 52'E.
Karabutaksk, Russia: 49" 55'N.; 60" 08'E.
Luyaba, N. Rhodesia: 16" 10'S.; 27'2O'8.
Makhach-Kala, Russia: 42' 58'N.; 47" 30'E.
Mishkino, Russia: 55' 24'N.; 63" 55'E.
Nakhakhaka, Russia: 49" 55'N.; 60" 08'E.
Tunduru, S. Tanganyika: ll'2O'S.; 37'20'E.
Yurginskoe, ljumen Reg., Russia: 56" 50'N.; 37" 20'E.
