Dendromus nubicus, Mesopicus spodoccpJialus, and Dendropicus 

 Jiartlaubi were found by 012 in September, gathering in large 

 flocks round the hills of the white-ant. 



Coliidae 



164. Colitis lencotis affinis, Shell. Moshi, IV., XII., XIII. 



At starting colics fly in a buzzing manner, flapping their wings 

 frequently ; they sail afterwards quickly along with extended 

 wings, without any movements or strokes , but before perching 

 on a shrub, they flap their wings again in a violent manner. 

 They hide themselves in bushes or shrubs which are overgrown 

 with creepers.
