37. Centropus superciliosus (lleiniir. & Elnb.). 

 cf . Karimia, Ussongora, 1. 5. 1899. " Iris blood-red." 



38. Chrysococcyx cupreus (Bodd.) ? ! 



An evidently yonng ? was .shot on the second day's march from Fort Mbfini. 

 " Its iris was pinkish-brown ; the feet yellowish-green ; bill black." It differs from 

 young of C. cupreus in the very narrow barring of the underside, each feather having 

 fonr or five distinct i)ale whitish bnff and bronzy green bars. I am inclined to 

 think that this bird is the yonng of an uudescribed form of Chrysococcyx nearest 

 to cupreus. 



39. Indicator indicator (Gm.). 



Wemi River, Torn, 21. 4. 1899. "Iris ochre. The song of this bird is a 

 constant ' wit-purr, wit-purr.' " 



40. Tricholaema lachrymosum Cab. 



(J ad. Kitagwetoa (Torn), 6. 4. 1899. " Iris orange-gold ; feet greenish grey; 

 bill black." The spots on the sides of this male are round, not ovate as in the/emale 

 recorded from Masongoleni in British East Africa (Ausorge's " Under the African 

 Snn," p. 335). 



41. Melanobucco bidentatus aequatorialis HheW. 



¥ ad. Kichuchn, Torn, 5. 4. 1899. " Iris brown, bare ; skin around the eyes 

 greenish yellow." 



42. Barbatula subsulphurea (Fras.). 



? . Kitima, Government station on the Ituri River, twenty-first day's march in 

 Great African Forest from Fort Beni. " Iris brown ; feet deep grey ; bill black.j^ 



43. Melanobucco leucocephalus (Defil.). 

 <J ad. Kikanja, Torn, 3. 4. 1899. " Iris brown." 



44. lynx pectoralis Vig. 

 Nairobe, British East Africa, 5. 2. and 27. 1. 1899. 



45. Thripias namaquus (Licht.) (Pan snbsp.). 



A 7nale from Ussongora, collected 17. 11. 1889 by Emin Pasha, has the wing 

 longer than fonr South African males. The wing in the Ussongora bird is fully 

 5'5 in. long. In the Cat. B. Brit. Mas. v. XVIII. p. 307, 52 is given as the length 

 of the wing, those before me measure 52 to 53 inches. The bars on the underside 

 seem also to be narrower in the Ussongora bird.
