3^ ill black : feet greyish olive ; iris dark brown. 



This bird frequents dense forest only, and being extremely 

 shy is difficult to shoot. It has a musical but penetrating 

 note.

No. 333. ? . Bunkeya R., 3000 ft., Aug. 22, 1907. 



Hill black ; feet dusky olive ; iris brown. 



This species is not confined to dense forest like the 

 preceding. It is usually to be found in thickets, on old 

 termite-mounds and river-banks. Except in the neighbour- 

 hood of human habitation, I have always found it very 

 wary.

 brownish flesh-coloured ; iris dark brown. 



This bird differs from its allies in venturing much more 

 into the open, and is consequently more easily obtained.
