A fully adult male. Many of these birds were seen in 

 the larger forests in Uganda. They are noisy and heavy 

 flyers. 



The harsh call of this species is one of the commonest 

 sounds in the great forests. We have seen their nesting- 

 holes on several occasions, but have not taken the eggs.

An adult male and two young birds. These birds are 

 excellent acrobats : I have watched them do some surprising 

 twists while endeavouring to obtain fruit from the end of a 

 slender branch. We saw these birds in couples during the 

 ofl'-season. They have a peculiar whining note, which is 

 uttered iu an upright position.' 



Localities. Kyetema and Nambrizi Plains, in Uganda.
