Description

The report was written in October 1965 regarding birds in Comoros and Madagascar observed by Forbes-Watson and his colleagues. A published report by Forbes-Watson is also available, but not cataloged in this registry. The field book consists of a bird specimen catalog from 1964-1966 in Kenya. Collection numbers for the catalog range from 1-2747, with numbers 1065-2561 absent, apparently lost in transit.
