VII. — List of Birds obtained in British East Africa. By 

 F. J. Jackson, C.B., F.Z.S.— Part 11.^ With Notes by 

 R. BowDLER Sharpe, LL.D. &c. 



(Plates II. & III.) 



[In this paper Mr. Jackson continues the account of his 

 collection down to the end of the Passeres. The number of 

 purely West-African species which occur in the interior 

 of British East Africa is a very interesting fact, though 

 Mr. Oscar Neumanu''s expedition had already made us 

 acquainted with the presence of many of them. — R. B. S.]
