This pretty little Barbets I met with on one occasion in the swampy 
part of Khor-Em-Bul on 16th February 1911. It was a little flock of 10—12 
individuals busting about an Acaci-tree. Their movements were like 
those of Goldcrest searching for insects. After shooting, one was killed, 
the others again disappeared at once. Example obtained for the collection 
being in moult, but the feathers already developed, its sex was invisible.
