Birds around Mpumu, Uganda. 501 



ground. The nest (see Plate XI.) was very small, composed 

 of grass bound with spiders' webs with bits of lichen attached. 

 The eggs (Plate X. fig. 13) are two in number, of a brownish- 

 white ground, with purplish-brown spots, thickest at the 

 larger end. 



107. Pacliyprora orientalis. Not common. 



108. Elminia longicanda. This handsome Flycatcher makes 

 a most beautiful nest covered with lichen, usually about 

 six feet from the ground. It lays two eggs (Plate X, fig. 17) 

 of a somewhat dirty white ground-colour, with grey spot, 

 forming a band round the thick end. 



109. Terpsiphone emini. Fairly common in the native 

 gardens and forest. It builds a small nest in April, May, 

 or June. The eggs (Plate X. fig. 14), two in number, are 

 pinkish white with reddish spots and blotches, more thickly 

 disposed round the larger end. 



110. Hirimdo arcticincta. Common. Nests in March 

 and April. 



111. Hirundo senegalensis. Fairly common. 



112. Hirundo rustica. Common. 



113. Hirundo puella. One of the commonest and tamest 

 of the Swallows. I obtained one specimen with the outer 

 tail-feathers over 6-5 inches long, which is 2*5 inches longer 

 than any others that I have seen. 



114. Hirundo christyi. 



Hirundo christiji Sharpe, Bull. B. O. C. xvi. 1906, p. 86. 

 Found only in swamps, frequently resting on the reeds. 

 I have only noticed it from April to June.

116. Cypselus caffer. Fairly common. 



117. Caprimulgus natalensis. Common. Breeds in June
