We first met with these little Red-ruraped Green Wood- 

 peckers at Gardein, and thence to Chak Chak and Dem 

 Zubeir they were common wherever the forest was of an 

 open nature. They were usually in parties of seven or 

 eight, but pairs were occasionally met with.

1 shot a female of this Pigmy Woodpecker on the summit 

 of Erkowit on March 3rd, 1906. It was common all through 

 the country traversed in the Bahr-el-Ghazal Province.

These Fruit-Pigeons were abundant between Meshra-el- 

 Rek and Chak Chak, collected in flocks to feed on the fruit 

 of a large Fiais locally known as the '' Gameiza.^^ They have 

 a clear modulated whistling note, like that of Osmotreron. 



This is the species mentioned in my previous paper as 

 seen but not shot, and doubtfully listed as V. i&aalia (Gm.)

The Guinea Pigeon was, as usual on the White Nile, first 

 met with among the "^Doleib" palms at Tewfikia, and in 

 the Bahr-el-Ghazal country we found it abundant wherever 

 these palms occurred. I occasionally saw sixty or seventy 

 individuals in a flock.
