Notes
Content: Written on border: "Indicator sparniannii" Printed on border: "…the honey-guide is found in forests, and often far from water, even during the dry season. On observing a man, it comes fluttering from branch to branch in the neighbouring trees, calling attention. On being followed, it goes further; and so it will guide the way to a nest of bees. When this is reached, it flies about, but no longer guides; and then some knowledge is needed to discover the nest, even when pointed out by the bird to within a few trees." Includes additional text.
