Cunningham-van Someren and Herbert Schijter Received 4 December 19So In November-December 1978 and 1979 two joint collecting trips were made by the Naturhistorisches Museum, Wien (NMW) and the National Museum, Nairobi (NMN), Kenya, to the North Nandi Forest, Western Kenya, o° 20'N, 340 5 8'E at some 2400 m, 75 miles southwest of Mt Elgon. As far as we are aware no serious collecting has been undertaken in this isolated montane forest, though Sir Frederick Jackson (1938) collected in "Nandi", a locality "20 miles north of Kibigori Station" (on the Kenya railway, south of Kisumu on Lake Victoria). The forest of Nandi (=South Nandi), some 60 miles south of North Nandi at 2130 m is now virtually destroyed and replaced by tea Map showing majority of locations mentioned in text. The NMN collection includes series taken in 1962 on Mt Loima, Muru- asigar, west of Lake Turkana, near the Uganda border and Mt Kadam. Mt Loima rises to 2100 m and is well forested at the upper levels. These and the North Nandi series have been compared with examples from Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and in some cases with material from Rwanda and Zaire. For the loan of comparative material we wish to thank the British Museum (Natural History), Tring (BMNH, I. C. J. Galbraith), the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago (FMNH, D. E. Willard), the Institute.
