268 NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXV. 19J8. 



5. Turacus leucolophus Hartl. (White-headed Turaco). 



<J 2. My collectors report that these birds were common on the lower 

 slopes. 



This species does not appear to differ in any part of its range. 



6. Turacus emini Rchw. (Green-crested Turaco). 



<J 1, ? 1. This species is certainly more restricted in its range than the 

 preceding one. Birds from the Yala River do not differ from those procured 

 in Western Uganda. 



Individuals from both locaUties sometimes show a distinct golden bronze 

 on the neck. 



CUCULIDAE. 



1. Centropus superciliosus Hempr. (Hackle-necked Caucal). 

 (J 1 . Common in the low country. 



2. Ceuthmochares aereus intermedius Sharpe (Yellow- billed Caucal). 

 (J 1. Widely distributed but nowhere very common. 



3. Coccystes caSer Licht. (Black-crested Caucal). 



(J 1, Juv. 1. Tliis species was common in the acacias but was not seen 

 on the mountain. 



4. Cercococcyx mechowi Cab. (Long-tailed Cuckoo). 



<J 2. A few examples of this rare Cuckoo were seen in the dense forests, 

 towards evening. 



Elgon is, as far as I can ascertain, the furthest east locaUty in which this 

 species has been obtained. 



5. Cuculus jacksoni Sharpe (Jackson's Black Cuckoo). 

 ? 2. The various phases in the plumage of this species, C. clatnosus and 

 C mabirae, require working out with care. The variations are great. The young 

 are difficult to tell apart. 



6. Cuculus solitarius Steph. (Common Red-throated Cuckoo). 

 (J 1. This is a common species which is found in forests and more open 

 country. 



7. Chrysococcyx caprius Bodd. (Common Bronze Cuckoo). 

 <J 3, ¥ 2. This cuckoo was very common, especially during the courting 

 season. Their calls were incessant. 



A young of tliis species was found in the neat of Nectarinia erythrocerea.
