330 UNDER THE AFRICAN SUN 



31. Oena capensis (L.) 

 $ Mto-ya-mkuyuni (Ukamba), British East Africa, 13/11/96. 

 " Feet red. Bill orange, red at base." This little pigeon, so 

 common in most parts of Africa, was only met this one time. 

 It is rare on the East African coast, but very common in the 

 interior (Neumann). 



(GAME-BIRDS.) 

 32. Fi-ajicoliiius gra7iti Hartl. 



? Mtoto Ndei, British East Africa, 1/11/96. "Iris red, feet 

 red-brown, bill black." 



33. Fraucolinns kirki Hartl. 



? Maharagwe-fundi, in the Taru desert, British East Africa, 

 23 10/96. " Iris dark red-brown, feet red, bill black." Is this 

 really a distinct species ? I share Mr. Neumann's doubts in 

 this respect. 



34. Fraiicolijuis uluetisis Grant. 



This species, only quite recently described by Mr. O. Grant, 

 was found, in April 1898, on the Kiboko river and at Muani in 

 Ukamba, British East Africa. " Iris dark brown, feet lemon- 

 yellow, bill greenish-black, yellow at base." Only three females 

 were sent. 



35. Francolinus gcdgci Grant. 



Two males, one from Mondo in Uganda, and one from 

 Hoima in Unyoro. The latter seems to be younger, its iris is 

 described as dark brown, feet orange-yellow ; while of the former 

 the feet were copper-red, black in front, and its iris red. Maxilla 

 black, mandible orange. 



Only a single specimen was obtained by Mr. Gedge on the 

 Elgon Plains (Kavirondo), where it is common. (Grant, Ibis, 

 1891, p. 124, id. Handbook Game-birds, i. p. 127.) 



36. FTuncolinus liubbardi Grant. 

 One male, River Molo, twelve miles south of the equator, 

 Uganda Protectorate, Ravine district. " Iris sepia-brown, feet 

 lemon-yellow, bill black at the tip, yellow at base."
