24. Turacus persa buffoni (Vieill.). 



This form is distinguished from T. p. persa by having the black patch beneath 

 the eye continued backwards to a distinct black baud and the white Ijand beneath it 

 only faintly indicated or wanting. 



It replaces the foregoing form in Senegambia and Sierra Leone. It is remark- 

 able that neither of the two forms is found in Liberia. The fauna of the French 

 Ivory Coast between Liberia and the Gold Coast is practically unknown, and it is 

 impossible to say whether tlie true T. p. persa occurs so far west. 



As this form was not collected by Riggenbach near Thies and Diourbel, I 

 suppose that the Gambia forms its northern limit. 



There are only two native trade-skins from Senegambia in the Tring Museum. 



25. Turacus corytliaix corythaix (Wagl.). 



The true Turacus corytliaix is distributed over Eastern South Africa from the 

 Cape Colony to the southern parts of the Transvaal, while it is replaced in the 

 Lydenbnrg, Barberton, and Zoutpansberg districts, ]>robably also in Ghazalaud, by 

 the blue T. c. phoebus Neum.
