Key, footnotes.

*         We often split up in two teams. Especially for the ornithology team it is extremely difficult to give exact data. The periods generally include establishing camps and putting up mistnets in the mentioned area and often also searching for camps in other areas and other logistics (new camps were found at least one day before moving the team). These activities were often quite time consuming in the difficult terrain. The team left the three main areas in two groups over two days (since we had generally only one car). Rain sometimes prohibited us from working.

**        These data are presented elsewhere (ethnobotany: in Mabula et al. 1994 but with a summary in Section 8 of this report; botanical plots from the Tegetero area: in Mabula et al. 1994; interviews about agriculture: in Mabula et al. 1994 with some summarizing in Section 8 of this report; botanical plots from Kimboza: in a later publication; Tree Hyraxes: in a later publication).

 

Key, ornithology survey types (further details on intensity of fieldwork is given for the single stations in Table 5.3):

1         Full standard survey (mistnetting for two full days, assessments of one-hectare plots, 30 minutes tape recordings at dawn, general field observations).

2         Mistnetting for less than two full days, assessments of one-hectare plots and general field observations.

3         Mistnetting for less than two full days, general field observations.

4         General field observations, less than one day. Morningside less than one hour.

5               Assessments of one-hectare plots, general field observations.
