132 W. A. SANDS 



Lake Kyoga near Soroti, 15.x. 1952 (W. A. Sands) ; Kampala, iv.1955, 55 and 58m. 

 from Kampala on Masindi Road, 2 vials, 7.XL1955 (R. M. C. Williams). 



A total of 92 nest series were examined, and all material is in the British Museum 

 (Natural History) unless otherwise stated. 



The biology of this species has been discussed under its junior synonym T. car- 

 bonarius in earlier papers (Sands, 1961, 1961a). It is another of the species occurring 

 in the Guinean savannah vegetation zones (Keay et al., 1959, types 8, 16, and 17). 

 Unlike its sympatric congeners, its northward limit is the beginning of the drier 

 Sudan savannah (Keay et al., type 20). It has therefore only been recorded from 

 Uganda at the eastern end of its range, because the southern parts of the Sudan have 

 been neglected by collectors.
