XXXII. — Report 071 the Birds cullected by the late Mr. Boyd 

 Alexander {Rijie Brigade) daring his last Expedition to 

 Africa. — Part V. List of the Birds obtained in the 

 Manenguba Mountains [Cameroon). By David A. 

 Bannerman, B.A., M.B.O.U., F.R.G.S. 



Part V. concludes the Reports on the collections made by 

 Boyd Alexander during his last journey. Many interesting

 Mr. Ogilvie-Grant for allowing me to describe these 

 valuable collections — a labour which has taken me the best 

 part of a year to accomplish — and for much help and advice 

 which he has given me. 



A perusal of Boyd Alexander's diary of his last journey 

 throws a certain amount of light on the character of the 

 country through which he passed between Cameroon 

 Mountain to the Manenguba Range (see map, PL VI.). 

 From it one gathers that, after leaving Euea, the road, 

 passes first through cacao-plantations ; then, from Ediki to 

 Malende and on to Kumba, a track leads through mag- 

 nificent forest, where some very fine timber is to be seen ; 

 and finally, as one nears Ninong, the enclosed country gives 

 way to undulating and hilly grass-land with little clusters
