and advice I have had the pleasure to receive from them, makes 

 it not only an obligation on ray part but also a pleasure to 

 tender them my sincere thanks. 



Further, my thanks are due to my friend Dr. Erwin 

 Stresemann, chief of ornithological department of the Berlin 

 Museum, for all his amiability and assistance during my stay in 

 Berlin. 1 am also indebted to the erudite and expert scholar in 

 African birds, Mr. H. Grote, Berlin, who has in many ways aided 

 my work.i) 



But not least do I feel my indebtedness to Dr. V. G. L. 

 van Someren, Nairobi, B. E. A., who has always assisted 

 me with his exceptionally great experience and knowledge of 

 African Avi-fauna, and who saved me so much trouble and hard 

 work by naming on the spot a great number of birds procured 

 by the expedition. 



Last, but not least, I wish to express my feeling of grati- 

 tude, to all those who furnished me with personal equipment, such 

 as was necessary in the Tropics. Without their generous support 

 this journey would certainly have been impossible for me to 

 undertake: Governor, Count R. D e 1 a G a r d i e , Ph. D., Malmo,
