410 ZOOLOGICAL RESULTS OF THE RUWENZOEI EXPEDITION. 



typical P. holomelmna from S. Africa. P. massaica is readily distinguislied by the paler 

 and greyer colour of the under wing-coverts and axillaries, which are smoky-brown 

 in P. holomelcena ; the latter also has the green gloss on the upperparts, especially on 

 the crown, brighter. 



[The Massai Rough-winged Swallow was numerous on Ruwenzori below the forest, 

 and occurred up to an elevation of 8500 ft. — R. B. WA 



PSALIDOPROCNE NITENS (Cassin). 



Psalidoprocne nitens Reich. Vog. Afr. ii. p. 426 (1903), iii. p. 829 (1905) ; Sharpe, Ibis, 1907, 



p. 444 [S. Cameroon]. 

 Psalidoprocne nitens centralis Neumann, Orn. Monatsb. xii. p. 144 (1904) [Eturi]. 



«. ? . 40 miles N.W. of Fort Beni, Semliki Valley, 3000 fc, 13th Aug. [No. 508. 



R. E. d:] 



Iris dark hazel ; bill black ; feet brown. 



The above specimen, which is a typical example of Prof. Neumann's P. n. central^, 

 is indistinguishable from examples from Cameroon and Gaboon. The British Museum 

 possesses a cotype of P. nitens from the Muni E,ivei", Gaboon [I)u Chaillu). The 

 sooty-brown throat [cf. Sharpe, Cat. Birds B. M. x. p. 204 (1885)] is no doubt a 

 sign of immaturity. 



[The Square-tailed Rough-winged Swallow was always to be seen in the clearings 

 and about the native villages in the Eturi Forest. — R. B. PF.] 



Family Picid^. 



Dendeomus caroli Malh. 



Dendromus caroli Reich. Vog. Afr. ii. p. 168 (1902) ; Jackson, Ibis, 1906, p. 528 [Toro] ; 

 Sharpe, Ibis, 1907, p. 443 [Cameroon]. 



a. d . Mawambi, E. Congo Forest, 3000 ft., 21st Oct. [No. 3638. R. B. W.] 

 Iris dark brown ; bill black ; feet pale greenish-yellow 



This West African species has been already obtained in Toro by Mr. Jackson's 

 collectors, so its occurrence in the Eastern Congo Forest was to be expected. 



Dendeomus tjeniol^ma (Reichenow & Neumann). 



Dendromus tanioltema Reicli. Vog. Afr. ii. p. 172 (1902). 



Campothera hausburgi Sharpe, Bull. B. O. C. x. p. 36 (1900) [Kenya]. 



Dendromus tceniolama hausburgi Reich, t. c. p. 172. 



a. [ S .] Mpanga Forest, Fort Portal, 5000 ft., 18th Sept. [No. 533. R. E. I).] 



Iris crimson ; bill dark horn ; feet oHve.
