P.S. — The existence of three species of Trachyphonus in 

 the Somali country is curious and apparently improbable; 

 but I believe nevertheless that such is the fact. Heuglin 

 and Revoil, both trustworthy observers, have collected 

 Tr. margaritatus in the northern coastlands of Somali - 

 land ; and as to this latter species, Dr. Oustalet writes me 

 that the specimens collected by Mr. Revoil are identical 

 with Abyssinian specimens in the Paris Museum. In the 

 southern portion of the Somali coast (Barawa, &c.) this 

 species is represented by Tr. hoelimi, which extends into the 

 Masai country, Ugogo, and Uniamwezy ; and Tr. shelleyi, our 

 new species, inhabits the interior highlands of the Somali 

 country.

 from Arizona. By Edward Hargitt, F.Z.S. 



In pursuing my study of the Picidse, I happened to meet 

 with a specimen of an adult male from the Santa Rita 

 Mountains, Arizona Territory, which was named Picas 

 stricklandi, and upon comparing it with an example of an 

 adult male of true P. stricklandi from Jalapa, Vera Cruz
