EXTRACTS FROM MEMBERS’ NOTE-BOOK 151 
Locusts 
There are quite a number of the yellow locusts about 
Nairobi at present, November 28, 1918, but I have not seen 
any swarms of locusts for many years. In, I think, 1908 a 
big swarm settled on the hill, Nairobi. 
Are they numerous in any part of British East Africa or 
Uganda ?

Anderson’s Peon 
At Burkau (Port Durnford), December 22, 1912, I saw the 
rare Anderson’s Peon on three successive nights but was 
unable to get a shot at it. The first night it swooped at and 
captured a bat, quite close to me. I think these birds must 
be more numerous than is generally supposed. I have seen 
them on the Zambezi, at Mombasa, Takaungu, Port Durnford, 
and near Taru water-holes. 
Are there any other night-flying hawks known ?
