NOTES ON A COLLECTION OF BIRDS 
Campothera pallida , Reich. Pale Spotted Woodpecker. 
$ 8, (J 4. Mombasa, Lamu, and Manda Island. Somewhat 
like C. nubica, but generally paler and having the white spots 
on the crown much larger. 
Dendropicus fuscescens massaicus, Neum. Massai Pigmy 
Woodpecker. $ 1, 2. Mombasa and Manda. 
Dendropicus Hartlaubi, Malh. Hartlaub’s Woodpecker. 
$ 2, (J 2. Lamu and Mombasa. 
Capitonimj 
Barbatula pusillus affinis, Reich. Little Red-fronted Bar bet. 
? 8, j 5. Lamu and Manda Island. A small race agreeing 
with specimens obtained inland. 
CORACIIDiE 
Coracias garrulus, L. European Roller. $ 1. Lamu. 
In full plumage. 
Coracias caudatus caudatus. Long-tailed Roller. $ 1, 8. 
Lamu and M’koi. Identical with inland birds. 
Coracias caudatus lorti, Shelley. Green- breasted Long- 
tailed Roller. $ 2, (J 7. A good series in which the characters 
are constant in all but one specimen, which appears to approach 
typical C. caudatus in coloration. It is of interest to note 
that this bird and the preceding were found in large numbers 
in the same localities. 
Alcedinid^e 
Ceryle rudis. Pied Kingfisher. $ 1, 1. Manda. 
Halcyon chelicuti. Hooded Kingfisher. Lamu. 
Halcyon leucocephalus. Brown-bellied Kingfisher. $ 8, 
cJ 11. Lamu and M’koi. These birds are rather darker on 
the crown than birds from Victoria Nyanza, and have the 
throat pure white, a large patch of red-brown on the shoulder 
joint, and a line of the same colour separating the grey of the 
head from the black of the mantle. They can, however, be 
matched with a bird from Simba.
