2. On THE BIRDS COLLECTED BY Capt. J. H. Speke DURING 
THE Hast-Arrican ExprepiTion. By P. L. Scuater; with 
Nores py Capt. J. H. Speke. 
(Plate XIV.) 
Capt. Speke having submitted to my examination all the bird- 
skins obtained during his recent successful expedition through Eastern 
Africa, I have had great pleasure in undertaking the task of the de- 
termination of the species. This, I may remark, has been rendered 
less easy by the imperfect state of many of the specimens, naturally 
resulting from the difficulties of collecting them in and transporting 
them through a hazardous and previously unknown country. 
The specimens brought home by Capt. Speke, altogether about 
seventy in number, were all obtained between Bogamogo, opposite 
Zanzibar (6° 30! S. lat.), and Gondokoro on the Nile (5° N. lat.), 
and with very few exceptions before reaching Usui, in the countries 
of Uzaramo, Usagara, Ugogo, Unyamuezi, and Uzinza; so that on 
the whole they may be taken as characteristic of the East-African 
avifauna immediately south of the Equator. 
The species represented in Capt. Speke’s collection are sixty-two, 
namely :—
