18. SCHIZORHIS LEUCOGASTER, Rupp. 



Three males^ Merereiii, July 24, 1886. 



Very common amongst the acacia trees. Stomachs of 

 all contained yellow vegetable matter, I think the blossoms 

 of the acacia tree. This bird was also plentiful in the 

 Kiliman-jaro district.

Very common everywhere. I found it breeding nearly all 

 the year round. 



23. Cypselus parvus, Licht. 

 S ? . Tangani, 25. 8. 85. 



Irides brown; stomachs contained small beetles, chiefly 

 wevils. This is the common Swift of the country. Both 

 these specimens were shot whilst clinging to the underside of 

 a cocoa-nut-tree leaf, apj)arently asleep.

 (^ $ ? . Manda Island, 27. 5. 86. 



Irides bright yellow ; bill black; legs olive-black. Until 

 the 27th of May I found this bird decidedly scarce, but 

 came across a small flock of about fifteen on the edge of a 

 shamba in some acacia trees.
