Collection of Birds 



147. Cuathis canonis, L. Middle reaches of the Pangani, III. ; 

 Moshi, IV. 



148. C/irysococcy.r cuprciis { Bodd.)- Middle reaches of the 

 Pangani, III.; middle reaches of the Rufu, III. 



Young ones were found in the nest of weaver-birds. The 

 golden cuckoo shows a preference fur depositing its eggs in the 

 nests of Ploceiis scJiillingsi, Rchw., which are hung from twigs 

 depending over the water. In March I came across a number 

 of young golden cuckoos, which had ousted the brood of the 

 weaver-birds. 



149. Chiysococcyx klaasi i'^'ic'^h^). Moshi, IV\, XII. 

 Contrary to O. Neumann's experience, I met with the lesser 



golden cuckoo constantly in the neighbourhood of Moshi the 

 whole \'car round. Neumann only found CJi. cuprciis, and, later 

 on, Ch. klaasi near the Victoria Nyanza.
