238 Dr. R. Bowdler Sharpe on Birds 



of the families Corvidse^ Sturnidae^ Oriolidaej Ploceidse, Fria- 

 gillidsej and Alaudidae. It will be noticed that Mr. Jackson 

 has furnished me with some very interesting details and par- 

 ticulars as to soft parts, habits, and other particulars. 



I have given frequent references to the following papers 

 which treat of the Ornithology of the adjoining districts of 

 Eastern Africa : —
