The birds were quite tame, living right in around the tiny settlement. I estimated their numbers at between twenty and thirty. My thanks are due to Mr. Peter Walters. Provincial Commissioner, Northern Frontier Province, for allowing me to enter his Province at a time of year when it was closed; and to Mr. David Dale. District Com- missioner, Marsabit. who not only allowed me to collect freel\ within his District, but also personally accompanied me to North Horr. | References: < Archer.
