Iris dark brown ; bill and legs black. 



This White-headed Barbot was quite common at Tbika. 

 It lived in the larger fig-trees in the open, and I found it a 

 nuisance, as it would sit on a bough over my head and utter 

 a loud note wlien I was waiting for Green Pigeons. Lonn- 

 berg (Vet. Ak. Handl. xlvii. No. 5, 1911, p. 65) considers 

 this a very rare bird, and there are not many specimens in 

 the Museum. I could have shot a dozen any day at Thika, 

 and I shot one from a flock of seven at Nairobi. 1 saw no 

 sign of any witli darker breasts.

Iris light brown ; bill and legs dark. 



The Honey-Guide was quite common on the Tsavo. It 

 was unusual not to see one or two during the morning. 

 Their intentions may be excellent, but they are a pest wlien 

 one is stalking an animal. I only followed one once and it 

 brought me to a bee's bole in a tree in a very short time, 

 tbough it never settled in the tree but suddenly became 

 silent when I was getting " warm."
