This paper is divided into two parts : the first, entitled 

 '^Description d'un Pelican apparemment nouveau d'Afrique occi- 

 dentale et observations sur quelques especes du meme ge?ire/' gives 

 a redescription of Pelicanus sharpii {cf. Ibis, 1870, p. 4-22), with 

 notes on other members of the genus. The second portion, 

 "Sur V existence et I' habitat du Francolinus rubricoUis {Lath, nee 

 Riipp.)," gives a description of this species, and refers to it 

 Pternistes sclateri, Boc. {cf. Zool. Rec. iv. 115). The species 

 called F. rubricoUis by Riippell must now bear the name F. leuco- 

 scapus, Gray (List of Gallinse, p. 48, 1867). The true habitat of 

 F. rubricoUis, Lath., is Mossamedes and Barra do Dande, to the 

 northward of Loanda, in Western Africa. A list of the fourteen 

 species of Francolinus contained in the Lisbon Museum is 

 added.
