In the young specimens the bill is brownish black, the feathers of the front are 

 mixed with green. The white stripe below the eye is not well developed. In the 

 youngest specimen the green colour of the back and underside is very pale and just 

 beginning. The white stripe btdow the eye is faintly indicated ; bnt instead of the 

 white spot in front of the eye there is a broad white stripe over the whole eye, which 

 unites behind the eye with the indication of the lower stripe. Of the five young 

 specimens, the four more advanced were collected in September, October, December, 

 and March. The youngest specimen was collected in March. 



17. Turacus leucolophus (Hartl.). 



This species is distributed over Central Africa from the Samia Hills in North 

 Kavirondo and Turquel to the Ubaugi and Shavi Rivers. There are specimens in 

 the Paris Musenm collected by de Bdhagle in Bagirmi, and Capt. Boyd Alexander 

 collected this species on the Ba-Mingue River (Upper Shari), These specimens 

 which 1 have compared, are not at all different from those from the Upper \V'hite 

 Nile, Unyoro, and Kavirondo. 



The following specimens are in the Tring Museum : • 



1 specimen (without locality, probably North 



Kavirondo or Turcjuel) . . . Jackson coll. 



1 specimen. Uganda Grauer ,,

The distribution of this species is wrongly recorded even in the last works 

 dealing with that group — i.e. in Reichenow : " Vugel Afrikas" 1902-3, and in 

 Dubois' list of the " Musophagidae " in Genera Avium, which is nothing but 

 an extract from Reichenow's work without any criticism. 



in both these works the distribution is given as " from Sierra Leone to 

 Ano'ola." Now the bird was never collected in Sierra Leone, but this statement 

 was made by Hartlaub ou account of some specimens iu the Paris and Leydeu 

 Museums recorded from that locality, whi.h is surely a mistake.
