EAST AFRICA AND UGANDA FRANCOLINS 
By F. J. Jackson. 
The following notes on the Francolins of East Africa and 
Uganda are written in the hope that all those interested in the 
game-birds may be able to identify the various species they 
meet with. 
Very little is known of their breeding habits, but it is hoped 
that residents in the districts in which some of the species 
are found will keep careful notes on such an important 
question, and will record their observations in this Journal. 
At present game-birds of all kinds are shot throughout the 
year, but until we can obtain authentic information regarding 
the breeding seasons, it is practically impossible even to 
suggest a close season, so much needed and which all sports- 
men and lovers of Nature would only be too glad to see 
introduced. 
The descriptions of the birds are taken from the ‘ Catalogue 
of the Birds in the British Museum ’ by Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant, 
to whom I am also indebted for the description of F. kikuyuensis 
and of the females of F. hubbardi and F. uluensis, which were 
described subsequent to the publication of the Catalogue.
