57. Elliot's Monograph of the Hornbills. 



[A Monograph of the Bucerotidfe, or Family of the Hornbills. By D. 

 G. Elliot, F.R.S.E., F.L.S., &c. Parts u.-v., small foUo, 1877. Pub- 

 lished by the Author.] 



Of Mr. Elliotts excellently illustrated Monograph of the 

 Hornbills we have already spoken (Ibis, 1877, p. 376) . The 

 parts issued since (namely ii.-v.) contain figures of the fol- 

 lowing species : — 



Part n. 



Bucorvus abyssinicus, Rhytidoceros undulatus. 



Hydrocorax planicornis. Anorrhinus comattis. 



Anthi-acoceros malabaricus. Tockus fla^irostris. 



Part III. 



Buceros rhinoceros. Bycanistes cristatus. 



Anthracoceros malayauus. Lophoceros nasutus. 



Cranorrhinus cassidix. Tockus hemprichii. 



Part IV. 



Dichoceros bicomis. Anthracoceros coronatiis. 



Anorrhinus leucolophus. Tockus gingalensis. 



Penelopides panini. Tockus griseus. 



Part V. 

 Aceros nepalensis. Ehytidoceros plicatus. 



Pholidophalus fistulator. Tockus fasciatus. 



Penelopides manillee. Tockus semifasciatus. 



Lophoceros birostris. 



Mr. Elliot is not quite sufficiently careful about his loca- 

 lities to please the exigencies of modern science. Surely he 

 must know full well that Hydrocorax planicornis is not a 

 " native of the Moluccas \" Does not '^ B. rhinoceros, var. 

 javanica," of IMiill. et Schl., apply to the Javan B. lunatus, 

 which is certainly distinct from B. rhinoceros ?

 J. A. Harvie Brown. Pr. Nat. Hist. Soc. Glasgow, 1877, pp. 226-248.]
