APPENDIX I. 
this guinea-fowl, which much resembles Coronata, but give it 
on the authority of Dr. Fischer. 
Numida pucherani is a very handsome guinea-fowl, confined 
to forest by banks of rivers. It was seen in the forests of 
Taveta and Kah 4 , and also in forest by the banks of the Tana 
river. 
Acryllium vulturinum. The vulturine guinea-fowl is found 
along the Useri river, on the dry red soil covered with thin 
thorny bush; also between Maungu and Taro. It is particularly 
plentiful at the Tana river, being the only guinea-fowl except 
Pucherani observed by us up there. 
Coturnix histrionica is the largest of the two kinds of quail 
met with near Kilima-njaro, and at certain seasons of the year 
is exceedingly numerous. At Ndara, in Teita, in December 
1886 they were Hushed at every step along the march. They 
were also very common on the Tana river in December 1889. 
Turnix lepurana is a small yellow button-quail, often flushed 
singly out of long grass, but is not common. 
Francolinus Granti. A small francolin, very common on the 
Useri river especially; also found round Taveta. 
Francolinus Schuetti. A large dark-brown bird with red 
bill. Large numbers are caught alive by the natives on Kili¬ 
ma-njaro at about 5000 feet. They live in the dense scrubby 
bush on the mountain, and are rarely seen. 
Francolinus Hildebrandti , Cabanis, and Francolinus altumi, 
Fischer and Reiclienoio. That these are one species there is 
little doubt. Both Dr. Abbott and I myself sexed a great 
number of these birds; all the Hildebrandti turning out to be 
females, and all the Altumi males. The Wa-caga boys daily 
brought in many of them to camp alive, probably caught in the 
same trap, and at least fifty birds were sexed with the above 
result. They also, like Schuetti, live in the thick low bush, 
and were rarely shot. 
Francolinus Huniboldti. Fairly common near Golbanti, about 
fifty miles from the mouth of the Tana river, but not observed 
in the Kilima-njaro district.
