300 ZOOLOaiCAL EESULTS OF THE EUWBNZOEI EXPEDITION. 



The localities from which undoubted specimens of E. paludicola have been examined 

 are as follows : — Lado, Tingasi, 60 miles north of Fort Beni, Semliki Valley, Unyoro, 

 Entebbe, and Kavirondo. The species has also been obtained in Angola by Mr. C. H. 

 Pemberton. 



[Not uncommon in the clearings in the Eturi Forest between Fort Beni and 

 Irumu.— i^. B. W.]

Adult male. Iris reddish-brown ; bill coral-red ; feet black. 



Adult female. Iris dark orange ; bill pink ; feet dark brown. 



The specimens mentioned above are no doubt typical examples of Emin's Rosy- 

 flanked Waxbill, the type of which was procured at Bukoba on the west shore of 

 Victoria Nyanza. I have recently recorded and made notes on an adult pair sent by 

 Mr. Carruthers from Lake Kivu. 



The immature specimens in the present collection differ from the adults in having 

 the bill dusky along the culmen and cutting-edges of the mandibles ; the back uniform 

 brown, without any trace of fine dusky cross-bars, and the pink wash on the flanks and 

 vent barely indicated. 



I have examined specimens of E. roseicrissa from Toro, Bukoba, S.E. Ruwenzori, 

 and Lake Kivu. 



[This little Waxbill was plentiful on the plains round the south end of Ruwenzori, 

 but was not met with on the mountains. — B. B. W.]
