from Equatorial Africa. 97 



were collected wherever they travelled about the Ujijanda 

 Protectorate, in the Mau, Baringo, Suk, Nandi, Elgou, 

 Busoga, Uganda, Unyoro, Toro, and Ankole districts, as well 

 as to a small extent on the northern islands of the Victoria 

 Nyanza. Collections were also specially made on the flanks of 

 Mt. Ruwenzori, and in the Semliki Valley and the forests on 

 the border of the Congo Free State. All the skinning and 

 preserving was done by Mr. W. G. Doggett, of whose services 

 Sir Harry Johnston speaks very appreciatively, and the skins 

 of the birds are certainly in excellent condition. Mr. Doggett 

 was at first in Sir Harry's personal employment, but recently 

 he has been appointed to the service of the Uganda Pro- 

 tectorate, and in that service he is shortly about to return to 

 Uganda.

All the specimens collected by Sir Harry Johnston have 

 been generously presented by him to the British Museum, 

 where we have much appreciated the donation of so many 

 large birds, which are not often sent home by travellers on 

 the march.
