H. 1016. <$ ad. Kangao's, Toro, March 10, 1902. Iris 

 brown; bill black; feet dark slate-coloured. Nothing like 

 so numerous here as at Butiaba. A very wary bird and most 

 difficult to approach.

 mandible greenish horn-coloured ; feet bright lemon-yellow. 



[This is an immature specimen, but I can only refer it 

 to this species. It has a great likeness to a Hierococcyx. —

46. CUCULUS JACKSONI. 



Cuculus jacksoni Sharpe, Bull. B. O. C. xiii. p. 7 (1902) ; 

 Keichenow, Vog. Afrikas, ii. Nachtrag, p. 715 (1903). 



No. 1119. S ad. Toro, March 21, 1902. Iris brown; 

 bill black ; feet light brown, the soles white. On coming 

 out of the forest, just as it was getting dark, I heard the con- 

 tinuous call of a bird in a tree some way off. I had heard 

 this curious long-drawn-out call in the forest continually, 

 and took it to be that of Bias musicus, but had never been 

 able to make certain. On approaching the tree, 1 saw this 

 bird, and thinking that it was giving vent to the sounds, I 

 shot it, and was surprised to find it a Cnckoo, as the call was 

 so utterly unlike that of any of the Cuckoo tribe. I did not 

 see any bird leave the tree when I fired, but of course there 

 may have been a Bias musicus present. 



47. Cuculus gularis. 



Cuculus gularis L. ; Sharpe, Hand-1. B. ii. p. 158 (1900) ; 

 Reichenow, Vog. Afrikas, ii. p. 89 (1902).

 of upper and lower mandible.
