IX. — A List of Birds collected in Uganda and British East 

 Africa, with Notes on their Nesting and other Habits. — 

 Part I. By V. G. L. van Someren, M.B.O.U. 



(Plates IV.-VI.) 



I HAVE thought it advisable to publish a short account of 

 the birds collected by my brother and myself in Uganda and 

 British East Africa, as some of those from the former place 

 have been described by us quite recently, and others are new 

 to the Uganda list. A large proportion of this collection 

 was made in the forest-region between Jinja and Kampala. 

 This list contains names of birds of which we obtained 

 actual specimens or collected their nests and eggs. 



Since writing the notes I have received a small collection 

 of skins from my brother, which contains several species not 

 included in this paper, and which will be reported on at a 

 later date. 



My thanks are due to Lord Rothschild, who kindly allowed 

 me to work out my collection at Tring, and to Dr. Hartert 

 and Mr. Ogilvie-Grant for much valuable help. 



Two thousand five hundred specimens were collected, 

 referable to 552 species and subspecies.
