(1894 : Wembere Steppes) ; Hartert, Tierreich, Aves, 

 Liefer, i. p. 57 (1897). 



No, 506. ? ad. Ravine, March 4, 1897. Bill black; 

 feet scaly brown ; iris brown. Not nearly so plentiful as 

 C. freenatus, from which it is easily recognised when on the 

 ■wing by its larger tail and wings. It is also much more 

 active, darting up and down more like a Bat in the way 

 it twists and turns. The other skims along nearer to the 

 ground. Stomach contained beetles and tree-bugs swallowed 

 whole. 



300. Caprimulgus fr^natus. 



Caprimuhjus freenatus Salvad. ; Hartert, Cat. B. Brit. 

 Mus. xvi. p. 533 (1892); Sharpe, Ibis, 1892, p. 322 

 (Machako^s) ; Hartert, Tierreich, Aves, Liefer, i. p. 59 

 (1897); Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1900, p. 600 (Mount Kenya, 

 10,000 feet). 



No. 351. ? ad. Ravine, Bill, feet, and iris brown. 

 This appears to be the most plentiful of the Goatsuckers. 



No. 413. S ad. Ravine, Feb. 23, 1896. Bill dusky 

 black; feet dusky brown ; iris brown. Plentiful. Stomach 

 contained two large wood-boring Hymenoptera. 



No. 488. ? ad. Ravine, Feb. 26, 1897. I found the 

 nest of this bird with two eggs under a large bush on the 

 bare ground. The eye of the parent, as she sat on the nest 

 with the sun shining directly into it, was dull claret-coloured, 

 and looked exactly as a bird does when blood forms in the 

 eye when shot in the head.
