I believe that I saw a pair of these birds on the wing at the 

 foot of Mount Ruwenzori near Katwe. With this exception 

 I have met with them to-day for the first time, when I came 

 upon two little parties of three or four individuals during the 

 course of the morning's march, in open country well covered 

 with small flat-topped trees, the very summit of which the 

 birds select for their coign of vantage. 



H. 1160. ? ad. Ankole, May 29, 1902. Iris deep bluish 

 grey ; bare skin round eye and throat black ; bill and feet 

 black. 



H. 1161, 1162. S ad.; H. 1163. ? ad. Ankole, March 

 2!), 1902. 



It is a curious thing that we should have met with this 

 bird for the first time immediately on entering Ankole, 

 having seen nothing of it inToro, especially as it is extremely 

 common here. I was mistaken in thinking that it was 

 a rather shy bird and hard to approach. Tnis morning I 

 must have seen fifteen or twenty specimens, and found them 

 quite the contrary, as they sometimes sat in the trees while 

 the whole caravan passed within twenty yards of them. 

 Their favourite place is undoubtedly the very summit of 

 these flat-topped trees, their white heads and breasts shewing 

 up very conspicuously against the dark green foliage.
