which follows the forest-clad range of mountains into Arakan 

 and Burmah, migrating as certain fruits on which they feed 

 come to perfection. Tickell mentions it as a rare bird in 

 Tenasserim ; and as they are generally found in the loftiest 

 parts of the forest, they are most difficult to find, and very 

 difficult to shoot. Mr. O. Limborg failed to secure a speci- 

 men when he was collecting there in 1877. 



If my conclusions regarding this bird be correct, then the 

 synonymy will be as follows : — 



Anorldnus tickelli, Blyth, J. A. S. B. xxiv. pp. 266-285 

 (1855), xxviii. p. 412 (1859). 



Toccus tickelli, Blyth; Tickell, Ibis, 1864, p. 173. 



Anorhinus galeritus, Temm. ; Austen, J. A. S. B. xxxix. 

 p. 96 (1870). 



Anorhinus austeni, Jerdon, Ibis, 1872, p. 6. 



CraniorrJiinus corrugatus, Temm. ; Blyth, J. A. S. B. xliii. 

 extra no. p. 69 (1875). 



Referring the question of the head to Lord Tweeddale, he 

 writes to me as follows : — " I remember the head perfectly. 

 It was in one of your tin boxes, along with some of the larger 

 birds. I think its name, whatever that name was, is written 

 in pencil on the skull ^^■^. This head has got somehow mis- 

 laid. I trust still to find it, and clear up what Blyth wrote 

 about it. It has no relation whatever to No. 146 c. 

 Yours &c.,

We record with regret the decease of Mr. Joachim John 

 Monteiro, C.M.Z.S., at Lourevco Marques, Delagoa Bay. 

 Although not a professed naturalist, Mr. Monteiro did much, 

 during his eighteen years^ residence in Angola, to make known, 

 by observations and collections, the ornithology of that 

 country. Several papers referring to his collections have 

 been published in the Zoological Society^s ' Proceedings.' In 

 1875 Mr. Monteiro published an interesting volume entitled 

 ' Angola and the River Congo,' which gives some account of 

 his adventures in those countries. 



* ** Blyth saw the head when he came to Chislehiirst with the MS. 

 of his Burmese paper,"
