Birds from the Fantee Country. 387 



88. Spizaetus coronatus (Linn.) ; Hartl., Orn. Westafr. 

 p. 5. 



One specimen, apparently an old male, in very bad condition. 

 Although not included by Dr. Hartlaub in the list of Ileer PeFs 

 birds, the specimen figured in Edwards's 'Birds' (pi. 224) was 

 said to be from Accra ; so the species cannot be considered new 

 to the locality. 



89. AsTUR MELANOLEUCUS, A. Smith ; Hartl., Journ. f. Orn. 

 1855, p. 353; Id., Orn. Westafr. p. 12. 



Mr. Gurney kindly identified the single specimen sent, as a 

 young male of this species. It was also brought by Heer Pel 

 from the Rio Boutry. 



90. HuHUA LEUCOSTiCTA (Hartl.) j ''Bubo leucostictus, 

 Temm.", Hartl., Journ. f. Orn. 1855, p. 354; Id., Orn. West- 

 afr. p. 18. 



In the collection sent by Mr. Higgins I was delighted to 

 perceive an adult and a young specimen of this splendid Owl. 

 Unfortunately we possess no information respecting the colour 

 of the iris, so that I have placed it in the genus Huhua provi- 

 sionally, in expectation that the colour of the eye will be dark- 

 brown, as in its near congener H. poensis {antea, pi. iv.). 

 When I have received positive information on this point, I hope 

 to be able to give a plate of this beautiful Owl.

 Heer Pel at Dabocrom.
