BIRDS 355 



215. Pratincola riibicola (L.) 



Kikuyu (British East Africa) and Nandi (Uganda Protec- 

 torate), March and November. 



216. Pratincola einmce Hartl. 



Rau (Nandi) in Uganda Protectorate in March, and First 

 Swamp, in Kikuyu, British East Africa. " Iris dark brown, feet 

 and bill black." 



I believe that P. emmce is different from P. albofasciata Rupp. 

 from Abyssinia in having a rufous band across the ches* ; while 

 in P. albofasciata this band is absent in the fully adult bird. It 

 is nevertheless strange that Hartlaub, when describing P. enini(2^ 

 did not mention its close affinity to the former.
