[Nightjars were not particularly common at Takaungn, 

 but a few pairs were found in tlie neighbourhood. At 

 Malindi they were more plentiful, and there I found 

 two eggs, placed under a bush amongst dead leaves. 

 One niglit at Takaungu I saw three of these Nightjars 

 hawking for insects round the tops of the trees. They weie 

 rare at Shimoni. — A. B. P.]

 [This Hornbill was not so often seen as the larger species. 

 It keeps lower down in the trees, and its cries do not draw 

 attention to its presence, as is the case with the larger 

 bird. It is usually found in pairs, and often half a dozen 

 pairs congregate together. Their cry resembles a very 

 melancholy whine. I found these birds most numerous 

 outside the thick belt of bush, where the larger species was 

 not found.— A. B. P.]
