524 Mr. F. J. Jackson on Birds collected 



taking it for that of some Bush-bird, but my guide assured 

 me that it was the bird with crimson wings for which I was 

 looking. Like other Touracos, it goes about in flocks, and 

 is only to be found high up in the forest.

The two kinds of Crimson-winged Plantain-eaters are, I 

 think, very local. A hundred yards in front of the camp a 

 thickly-wooded upward slope begins, and this is the special 

 home of the ' Kuru-Kuru/ 



For about the first half, if the collector is foitunate enough 

 to meet with one of these birds, it is pretty certain to be one 

 of the ' green-backed ' kind, whereas higher up it is useless 

 to look for that foim. There the ' blue-backed' bird is very 

 common. It is sometimes to be heard lower down, but the 

 other species never ascends far. The natives call the two 

 species by different names and know the distribution well. 

 This morning, when searching for the ' green-backed ' form, 

 they told me that it was of no use going any further, as the 

 4 green ' birds live at the bottom of the hill, and the ' blue ' 

 birds at the top.

I have seen several Plantain-eaters about here and further 

 back in Toro, but have not been able to procure specimens. 

 This is, I think, the common species here, as in Uganda.
