With Flashlight and Rifle ^ 



Thence to Ma.ss()ni,folcni and a little further this bird was so 

 frequently found that I could count twenty-five males to whose 

 warblini^ I had listened. This warbling resembles that of a weak- 

 voiced nightingale, or a nightingale with its notes not yet fully 

 developed, but the tune seemed to me in a lower key and more 

 that of the bastard-nightingale. In March 1905 I heard these 

 nightingales on the Rufu River ; they w^ere very numerous near 

 the caravan-road between the Jipc Lake and the camp at Kiziwani 

 (Kisuani). In this district, which would suit the European night- 

 ingale well, I heard a great number of singing male birds. I also 

 found the same species near the Meru Mountain and Mto Nyuki.
