The following species of birds are represented in a collec- 

 tion made by H. R. H. Prince Vilhelm's expedtion to Brit- 

 ish East Africa in the beginning of the year 1914. After 

 his return H. R. H. graciously presented the whole collec- 

 tion to the R. Natural History Museum in Stockholm where 

 it has been my pleasant duty to classify the specimens and 

 arrange this very valuable addition among the other coilec- 

 tions. 



The specimens have partly been obtained near Juja 

 farm, belonging to Mr. H. N. Mc Millan, who did his best 

 to facilitate the endeavours of the Prince, and partly at the 

 base of the mountain Donya Sabuk. 



The taxidermist of the expedition Mr. Ch. A. Turner 

 has done a very praiseworthy work, and all specimens are 

 in very good condition. 



In the following list the species are enumerated in the 

 same order as in Reichenow's work »Die Vögel Afrikas». 

 Not less than 126 different species are represented and some 

 of these, as will be noted below, are of certain interest, 

 especially from a zoogeographical point of view, or for the 

 study of variation.
