142 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OP 



180. Indicator maculatus, G. R. Gray. 



Indicator maculatus, G. R. Gray, Gen. of B. ii., pi. 113. 

 Two specimens from the Ogobai, labelled as male and female, are precisely 

 as given by Mr. Gray in his excellent figure above cited, and are the first that 

 have ever come under my notice. This bird is certainly not the young of 

 I. major, to which authors seem inclined to assign it, though that species is 

 also spotted on the under parts in young plumage. 



181. Melignothes exilis, Cassin. 



Melignothes exilis, Cassin, Proc. Acad., Philada., 1856, p, 157. 

 Two other specimens in adult plumage, and corresponding in all respects 

 with that described by me, as above. From the Cauima. 



182. Hetjerodes insignis, Cassin. 



Hetserodes insignis, Cassin, Proc. Acad., hilada., 1856, p. 157. 

 One specimen only quite similar to that from the Moonda, described as 

 above cited. From the Camma. 



183. Centropus Francisci, Bonaparte ? 



Centropus Francisci, Bonap. Consp. Av. i. p. 107 ? 

 A large species, the specimens of which are probably not in mature plumage, 

 but much like the descriptions cited above and given by Dr. Hartlaub. From 

 the Camma. 



184. Centropus monachus, Riippell. 



Centropus monachus, Riipp. Neu'e Wirb. Birds, p. 57, pi. 21, fig. 2. 

 Specimens in mature plumage quite identical with others from North 

 Eastern Africa, in the Academy collection. From the Camma, 



185. Zanclostomus aereus, (Vieillot). 



Cuculus aereus, Vieill. Eucy. Meth., p. 183. 



Zanclostomus fiavirostris, Swains. B. of W. Afr. 12, p. 183. 

 Le Vaill. Ois. d'Afr., pi. 215, Swains. B. of W. Afr. ii. pi. 19, 

 Evidently an abundant species. From the Ogobai and Rembo, and formerly 

 from the Moonda. 



186. Cuculus gabonensis, Lafresnaye. 



Cuculus gabonensis, Lafres. Rev. et Mag. Zool., 1853, p. 60. 

 Two species in mature plumage from the Camma. 



187. Chrtsococctx smaragdineus, (Swainson). 



Chalcites smaragdineus, Swains. B. of W. Afr. ii. p. 191. 

 In young plumage, and the only specimen of any species of this genu* 

 received from Mr. Duchaillu. From the Camma. 



11. Dendromus nigriguttatus, Verreaux. 



12. Dendromus Caroli, (Malherbe). 



13. Dendromus nivosus, Swainson. 



14. Dendromus africanus, (Gray) ? 



In addition to which, are several undetermined species, and numerous 

 specimens of a little species in the Rivoli collection, labelled " Picus senega- 

 lensis," with the locality occasionally added, "Senegal." The latter appaars 

 to be the speoies described by Gmelin under this name, and figured by Bulfon, 

 PI. Enl. 345, fig. 2, but may not be an African bird. It apparently belongs to 

 the same generic group as species labelled "P. affinis,' n " Mesopicus Cecilii," 

 and others in the Academy collection. 



Properly, these birds belong to various groups or genera, and several of 

 them have strongly allied forms in Eastern Africa, and the same latitudes in 

 Asiatic Islands.
