Oriolidae 



232. Oriolns oriolns (L.J. Ngaptuk. 



I found the European oriole in all these regions during the 

 winter months. 



233. Oriolns larvatus rolleti, Salvad. Donjc Erok, IX.; Moshi, 

 XII.; Kibwcsi, II. 



The call is very much like that of the European oriole, but with 

 a slight difference. 



Sturnidae 



234. Bnphagns erytJirorhynchus (Stanl.;. Donje Erok. 



This ox-pecker often alights on rhinoceroses, buffaloes, and 

 tame cattle. The bird is very tame when the companion of 

 domestic cattle, but rather shy and distrustful when the comrade 

 of wild animals. 



235. Pcrissoniis caruitculatus (Gm.). Njiri, Y. ; Donje Erok, 

 IX.; Yumbe ya Ma\ve, IY. ; Lafitti Mountains, III. 



Yery numerous flocks of these birds were found near the Yictoria 

 Nyanza in November ; they behaved very much like common 

 starlings. In the company of other small birds they flitted round 

 the pastures and meadows, sometimes perching on dead trees. 



236. Sprco sitpcrbns Tviipp. . Njiri, Y., YI., \"III.; Donje 

 Erok, IX. 



This starling is the faithful companion and associate of Dincincllia 

 diticviclli. The observation which Boehm has made on the 

 comradeship of the great shrike and the weaver-bird mentioned, 

 applies to the friendly companionship between Sfirco snperlnts and 

 Dinanellia. The}' chase one another like butterflies, perch side by 

 side on trees, and show the greatest friendship for each other. 



237. Cinnyricimlus rci rcait.ii ^[Boc.] Einsch, llartl. . Middle 

 reaches of the Pangani, III.; Moshi, IY., XII.
