which come from Slaningii on the west coast of Lake Taiigainika. Till more 

 material is available from there, J ]irefer to niiite the Tanganyika and the Nyassa 

 birds. 



There is no specimen of 7'. /. manmgensis in the Triiig Museum, bnt I have 

 compared the series of the Berlin and London Museums side by side. 

 The Berlin specimens have the following localities : 



Two specimens. Qua Mpara, Marnngn. Bohm coll. 



„ „ Mararnpiii, north of Lake Nyassa. Fiilleborn coll. 



One specimen, Songwe, north of Lake Nyassa. Fiilleborn coll. 

 The following specimens are in the British Museum : 

 Four specimens, South Angoniland. Manning coll. 

 One specimen, Kachere; one, Mwanembe ; one, Songwe. Shurpe cull. 

 One, Nyika Plateau. Whyte coll. 

 One, Ikawa. JIanning coll. 

 One, Palombe. Sharpe coll. 

 One, Mazukn Range. Whyte coll. 

 Some of these birds, the South Angoui and the Mwanembe specimens, are 

 more golden-green above, while the Ikawa, Palombe, and Songwe specimens are a 

 little more blue-green above. 



In all specimens of T. I. marungcnsis the shortest crest-feathers of the hind- 

 head have distinct white edges, and show scarcely any green gloss. 



30. Turacus livingstonei chalcolophus Neum. 



This form is only found on Mount Gurui, north of Irangi, German East Africa. 

 It is distinguished from marunffensis by the purple tail, the blue metallic gloss 

 of the crest-feathers, and the entire absence or only faint indication of a white line 

 below the eye. The shortest crest-feathers of the hind-head have a strong blue 

 gloss and scarcely any white edges. 



There are two speciniens in the Tring Museum : 



1 cJ, I ?, Mount Gurni, German East Africa, !•. x. 93. 0. Neumann coll.

This form is distributed from the Loita Mountains, North-west Massailand, to 

 the east shore of Lake Victoria, 'f. I. hitanus, which I had formerly united with 

 T. I. chalcolophus, is distinguished from the latter by the distinct white line below 

 the eye and by the distinct white edges of the shortest crest-leathers. From 

 T. I. marunr/e/isis it is distinguished by the jrarple tail. 



The only specimen in the Tring Mnseum is : 



^ (tyrO) Loita Mountains, North-west Massailand, 3. i. 94. 0. Neumann coll. 



Other specimens from the Loita Jlountains (Neumann cidl., v. Trotha coll.), 

 the Ngare Dobasch (Neumann coll.), and the Mori Kiver (Fischer coll.), are in the 

 Berlin Museum. 



My thanks are due to Prof Reichenow, who very kindly sent me over all the 

 material of the livingstonei grouj) from the Berlin Museum, so that 1 could bring 

 these specimens in direct comparison with the material of the British and Tring 

 Museums.
