 brought back in 1909 a collection of birds which contains 

 examples of 194 species. The forms, as might have been 

 expected, are mostly those o£ Cameroon, but five are regarded 

 as new by Dr. Reichenow, and are named Theristicus brevi- 

 rostris, ApIojjeUa (scr. Hn plopelia) tessmanni, Psalidoprocne 

 tessmanni, PedilorJiynchus tcssmonni, and Bradornls sylvia.

In the years 1908-9, the Imperial Colonial Office of 

 Germany sent out a Zoological and Botanical Expedition to 

 the Protectorate of Cameroon on the western coast of Africa. 

 The collectors were Herr Riggenbach and Herr Hauptmann 

 Striimpell, who brought back about 1000 bird-skins. These 

 are referred by Dr. Reichenow to 305 species, of which 

 34, new to science, have been already characterized by 

 Dr. Reichenow in the ' Ornithologische Monatsberichte.' 



A list is now given of the species and the exact localitiea 

 in which they were obtained^ with a few notes. The localities 

 are further indicated by an outline map, which gives the 

 routes followed by the expedition. 



Appended is a list of all the species of birds that are as 

 yet known to occur in the Protectorate of Cameroon, with 

 their localities, altogether 670 in number.
