owner. G. canorus was very plentiful at Butiaba, Lake Mbuli, 
on April 4 last, on its way north. C. solitarius is, I believe, 
the commonest of the true cuckoos in this country between 
February and May, and it is very noisy even at night. G. 
clamosus is also a noisy bird. It was plentiful down the Nile 
and in Bunyoro in April and May of this year. Both of these 
latter are partial migrants. 
The small flycatcher is probably Alseonax infuiatus. I 
have twice taken its eggs from the old nests — lined with 
feathers — of weavers, H. Jacksoni and H. dimidiatus, overhang- 
ing water. In April last I found the beautiful flycatcher 
Empidornis kavirondensis breeding in the old nests of weaver 
Ploceipasser melanorhynchus.

I have been collecting certain species of Pseudacraea and 
their models for the last two and a half years in Entebbe forest, 
endeavouring to get the proportions of the models and their 
mimics in nature. If any one has collected Planema macarista, 
Planema poggei, PI. alcinoe and PI. alciope in any quantity, 
with their mimics Pseudacraea hobleyi and Ps. terra (and 
Ps. obscura, mimicking PI. pasagea ) I should be very glad of 
the actual numbers caught and, if possible, in what months. 
(I hope this request is within the scope of this notebook.)

Usoga , Long-haired Goats. — These are natives of this country 
(Usoga) and have been well known by the natives for their 
fine fleeces of long silky hair. The natives of this part used 
to decorate their musical harps with pieces of goat skin having 
the long hair on it. There are now very few specimens of 
the breed alive (although I know 7 where there are some) and 
it is a pity they should be allowed to die out. I suppose the 
breed will become extinct in a few years, and I mention it 
thinking it worth noting in the natural history of the country. 
Speke mentions these animals in his travels in these parts.
