S ?. Tsavo. 19th July. Wing, (J 105, ? 105 mm. 



Iris black ; bill purplish lead ; feet purple. 



This Dove was numerous on the Tsavo, and generally 

 seen feeding on the ground under the bushes ; it was not 

 noticed elsewhere. 



This would be T. c. acanthina of Oberholser, P. U.S. N. M. 

 1905, p. 845, if that subspecies is found to be valid.

These birds are from the type-locality of (E. c. anonyma 

 Oberholser, P. U.S. N. M. 1905, p. 843. 



The Long-tailed Dove was seen only at two points on the 

 Tsavo River, both fairly far up ; like the last species, it was 

 also fond of feeding on the ground.

 ? . Thika. September. Wing 146 mm. 



This Dove was very common everywhere. The bushes 

 along the Tsavo were sometimes covered with them, though 

 I cannot say whether it was the same subspecies which 

 occurred in both places.
