from Equatorial Africa. 97 
were collected wherever they travelled about the Uganda 
Protectorate^ in the Man, Baringo, Suk^ Nandi^ Elgon, 
Busoga, Uganda^ Unyoro, Toro^ and Ankole districts^ as well 
as to a small extent on the northern islands of the Victoria 
Nyanza. Collections were also specially made on the flanks of 
Mt. Buwenzorij and in the Semliki Valley and the forests on 
the border of the Congo Free State. All the skinning and 
preserving was done by Mr. W. G. Doggett_, of whose services 
Sir Harry Johnston speaks very appreciatively, and the skins 
of the birds are certainly in excellent condition. Mr. Doggett 
was at first in Sir Harry's personal employment, but recently 
he has been appointed to the service of the Uganda Pro- 
tectorate, and in that service he is shortly about to return to 
Uganda.

All the specimens collected by Sir Harry Johnston have 
been generously presented by him to the British Museum, 
where we have much appreciated the donation of so many 
large birds, which are not often sent home by travellers on 
the march.
