Fairly common. Its cry is very loud, resembling that of

This little Honey-guide has not previously been recorded 



from Somaliland. The specimens obtained were shot at the 



Hankadeely Wells, about 7000 ft. up the mountain ; their 



crops were full of a white mealy substance. 



My specimens are very dark, and have a dark grey throat 



and chest ; they agree with the Bogos-land specimen of 



Jesse in the British Museum.

Goolis foot-bills, ,, „ „ „ 



This Barbet is far from common in the Goolis, small 

 parties of from 4 to 8 being occasionally met with. It 

 seems to prefer the thick creeper-covered bushes which are 

 to be found along the watercourses. Its flight much re- 

 sembles that of a Woodpecker.
