CATALOGUE OF A COLLECTION OF BIRDS FROM 

 BRITISH EAST AFRICA. 



BY NED DEARBORN. 



The collection of birds here treated was brought home by the 

 Museum's last expedition to East Africa, 1905-7, made under the 

 direction of Mr. C. E. Akeley. Most of these specimens were col- 

 lected and prepared by Mrs. Akeley. Colors have been designated 

 according to Ridgway's "Nomenclature of Colors." Specimens 

 without sex marks on labels have been indicated by a ?. Occa- 

 sional notes concerning habits were made by the collector, and are 

 included in quotation marks. One new species is described. The 

 type locality, if known, follows the original citation of each name. 

 The map indicates the location of the different camps at which speci- 

 mens were obtained. The sequence of families is that adopted by 

 Dr. Sharpe in his Handbook. 



Thanks are hereby gladly rendered to the authorities of the 

 Philadelphia Academy and the Smithsonian Institution for the loan 

 of specimens, and to officials at the John Crerar Library of Chicago 

 for the use of books. 



Besides the Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum, Shelley's 

 Birds of Africa and Reichenow's Vogel Afrikas, the papers in the sub- 

 joined list have been of assistance in the determination of species.
