480 PRIONOPS POLIOCEPHALA 
in the fork of a small tree, well covered with leaves, at the 
edge of a copse near Kakoma in German East Africa, and 
was constructed of grass covered with spiders-web so as 
closely to assimilate in colour the greenish-grey bark of the 
tree, but was not sufficiently large to hide the tail of the 
sitting bird. The eggs were of a bluish-green colour marked 
with brownish-red spots mostly towards the thick end, where 
they formed a zone. The eggs procured by Schiitt in Angola 
have likewise been described as of a pale bluish-green with 
reddish spots. 
Mr. Oscar Neumann procured examples of the species in 
Neguru, and records it as generally to be met with in flocks 
of eight to twelve to as far north as south Ukamba on 
the east side of the Victoria Nyanza, but it ranges further 
north on the western side of that lake, Doggett having 
collected a hen bird and her young at Mulema and a full 
plumaged male in south-west Ankole in southern Uganda.
