ON SAFARI 
These are the “ Go-’way birds ” of South Africa, or 
Plaintain-eaters. In East Africa they frequent the high- 
lying forests, as Man, Sotik and the Kikuyu Forest, and 
thorn-clad plateaux of Laikipia. Besides its ringing cry, 
“ Go-’way,” the Grey Lourie has also a cat-like note, 
uttered as it seemingly tries to balance on a bough, 
fluttering its short wings and flirting the immense tail. 
It is this species which, as described in Chap. XXII, 
causes infinite annoyance to the big-game hunter in 
South Africa by giving warning of danger to the quarry. 
king Leopold’s TOURACO (GymnoscMzorMs leopolcli). 
King Leopold’s Touraeo (Gymnoschizorhis leojooldi), brough t from 
Ruwenzori by my friend, Mr. Douglas Carruthers, is here 
rudely sketched. Remarkable for its scimitar-like crest 
and bare, featherless face. Other species of Touracos are 
figured at pp. 31, 194, 271, 272. 
Barbets 
Woodpecker-like birds, though they do not climb, a score 
or more of which are found in East Africa. They have 
ringing voices, not unmusical, nest in hollow trees, and a typical 
Barbet is sketched at p. 65.
