Native name Koekuli. One specimen. " Lives chiefly on 

 hermit-crabsj cracking the shell on a stone and apparently

The Ceblepyris casta of Salvadori's paper on the Shoa 

 collection is most likely the same as the Elgon bird, although 

 the Count did not think that his single specimen, a female, 

 difiored from South- African examples (c/. Salvad. Ann. Mus. 

 Genov. [2] vi. p. 531, 1888).
