430 CHLOROPHONEUS SULFUREOPECTUS 
Alexander found a nest on the Zambesi. It was placed 
in acacia bush about 30 feet above the ground, and was 
made of coarse bents, lined with finer material of the same 
kind. The eggs, three in number, were greenish white, spotted 
and blotched with brown at the larger end to form a zone; 
they averaged 0°85 X 0°62. 
- Throughout East Africa, from the Zambesi to Shoa and 
the Bahr el Ghazal and westward through Angola and to the 
Belgian Congo and Ruwenzori, this bird has been met with 
by many collectors, though there are hardly any observations 
recorded on its life-history.
