BIRDS 329 



(FLAMINGOES.) 

 25. Phoenicopterus roseus Pall. 

 Common on Lake Nakuru (Uganda Protectorate) ni March. 

 The small Pha:n. minor was not to he found in March. (See 

 No. 26.) 



26. PJicenicoiiaias minor (Geotfr.) 

 Lake Nakuru (Uganda Protectorate) in November, in large 

 numbers. Only this species was then noticed, instead of P. 

 roseus. 



(PIGEONS.) 

 27. Vinago calva nudirostris Sws. 

 ? ad. Fajao, on the Victoria Nile, Unyoro. " Iris : inner- 

 most rim bright light blue, shading into dark grey towards the 

 outside." Salvadori unites the forms from West, Equatorial, 

 and East Africa. Neumann separates V. calva calva and V. calva 

 nudirostris, making V. salvadorii a synonym of the latter. Nudi- 

 rostris would be the northern form. 



28. Turtur senegalensis (L.) 

 This common African pigeon is represented from Ndi (British 

 East Africa), 28/10/96 ; and from Kampala (Uganda), various 

 dates. 



29. lUrtur dainarensis Finsch & Hartl. (? an subsp.) 

 ? Kampala (Uganda), 10/1/97. $ 9 Masindi (Unyoro), 

 16/6/97. " Iris dark brown, a narrow yellow edge round eyelid, 

 feet pink, bill black." I am in doubt about the correctness of 

 the above nomination. Specimens in Mus. Tring from Lake 

 Nyassa, as well as from Western Somaliland, agree inter se, but 

 are much paler on abdomen and belly. I fancy that these birds 

 belong to a new sub-species, but more material is necessary to 

 decide about this. Count Salvadori has also enumerated birds 

 from Ndi, Pangani, Ugogo, Dar-es-Salaam, Mombas, as damar- 

 ensis ; O.Neumann records it from Zanzibar, Kibaya, Kavirondo. 



30. Chalcopelia afra (L.) 

 One skin without label, with green wing-spots.
