520 Mr. F. J. Jackson on Birds collected 



Macrodipteryx macro dipt erus (Lath ) ; Reichenow, Yog. 

 Afrikas, ii. p. 370 (1902j. 



H. 712. S ad. Toro, Jan. 20, 1902. Iris coffee-brown ; 

 bill brown, very dark at the tip ; feet darkish brown, much 

 scored with white. 



This bird was put up in broad daylight, and on first 

 getting a glimpse of it we received the impression of three 

 birds rising together. When seen on the wing in the dusk 

 it looks like two small birds mobbing a big one. The 

 specimen procured was lying up in a patch of burnt grass, 

 close by the side of a small shamba. 



H. 1015. <J ad. Near Kangao's, Toro, March 10, 1902.

Macrodipteryx vexillarius Reichenow, Vog. Afrikas, ii.

H. 8G4. $ ad. Ruwenzori, Feb. 18, 1902. Iris brown ; 

 bill darkish brown ; feet lightish brown, much scored with 

 white. 



This bird was sitting along the bough of a dead tree, and 

 on seeing us fluttered, off and settled on the bough of 

 another dead tree close by. I do not think that there can 

 be many Nightjars about here. A few nights ago I saw 

 one very high up, which dashed past and was gone in a 

 second. Yesterday, on the mountain, I put up a bird which 

 I have not seen before — a very large bird with a broad white 

 band on each wing, which shewed up conspicuously as it 

 flew away. Unfortunately I had only my "410 rifle in my 

 hand and did not fire, hoping that it would settle.
