Birds from Sierra Leone.

The swampy creek running up to the village was the 

 haunt of numbers of Night Herons, Cormorants, and Darters, 

 as well as Kingfishers of several species. 



In September 1912 Dr. Simpson, of the Entomological 

 Research Committee for Tropical Africa, invited me to 

 accompany him on a tour through the central and southern 

 portions of the Protectorate, during which I obtained a 

 considerable number of species which I had not observed in 

 the Peninsula itself. We also, on this trip, made a good col- 

 lection of bird parasites, which have been handed over to 

 Mr. Marshall, Secretary of the Entomological Research 

 Committee, in order that when an opportunity occurs they 

 may be worked out. 



The following is an itinerary of this tour.
