collected in Uganda and British East Africa. 229 



The native name for this bird is " Wora." There appears 

 to be no difference between the birds from Uganda and 

 tliose from British East Africa. These birds are not con- 

 fined to the great tree-forests, but are found in the acacia- 

 country. Their flight is undulating, consisting of a series 

 of flaps and then a long glide with a gradual descent; this is 

 followed by a few more flaps and another glide, and so on. 

 When these birds are courting, they distend the throat in 

 much the same way as do Poutei'- Pigeons. 



I found these birds wonderfully tame and easy to 

 procure.
