62. Ogilvie-Grant on the Birds of the Ruwenzori Expe¬ 
dition. 
[Ruwenzori Expedition Reports. 16. Aves. By W. R. Ogilvie-Grant, 
F.Z.S., M.B.O.U. Trans. Zool. Soc. xix. Part 4.] 
In our last number (see above, p. 372) we noticed 
Mr. Woosnam's interesting itinerary of the Ruwenzori 
Expedition and his proposed division of that mountain-mass 
into six zones, distinguished by their principal features of 
vegetation and their leading forms of bird-life. We have 
now before us Mr. Ogilvie-Grant's complete account of the 
birds collected during the Expedition; it is contained in 
the fourth part of the nineteenth volume of the Zoological 
Society's quarto f Transactions/ and is illustrated by ten 
coloured plates. 
Mr. Ogilvie-Grant commences his introduction by remark¬ 
ing that of the collections made by the Expedition probably 
none is so nearly complete as that of the birds. This is 
mainly due to the fact that four of its members were 
specially interested in Ornithology, and made great efforts 
to obtain examples of every species that was met with. 
These exertions resulted in the acquisition of specimens of 
385 species, of which, so far as our present knowledge 
extends, 20 are found only on Ruwenzori and on the 
Mufumbiro Volcanoes, and 96 more in the Ruwenzori 
district at lower levels and on the great central chain of the 
adjoining lakes. On the whole, 27 new species were dis¬ 
covered by the Ruwenzori Expedition. 
Another noticeable feature in the Ruwenzorian Ornis is
