* Collection of Birds 



147. Cncitliis id/ianis, \ .. Middle reaches of the Pangani, III.; 

 Moshi, IV. 



148. CJuysococcyx cnprcns 'Bodd.). Middle reaches of the 

 Pangani, III.; middle reaches of the Rufu, III. 



Young ones were found in the nest of weaver-birds. The 

 golden cuckoo sho\vs a preference for depositing its eggs in the 

 nests of Ploccns schillingsi, Rchw., which are hung from twigs 

 depending over the water. In March I came across a number 

 of young golden cuckoos, which had ousted the brood of the 

 weaver-birds. 



149. Chrysococcyx klaasi (Steph.). Moshi, IV., XII. 

 Contrary to O. Neumann's experience, I met with the lesser 



golden cuckoo constantly in the neighbourhood of Moshi the 

 whole year round. Neumann only found C/i. cnprcns, and, later 

 on, Cli. klaasi near the Victoria Nyanza.

 I have never been able to ascertain whether the honey-guide 



itself feeds on the honey or bees after guiding the traveller to the 

 hive.
