River Volta (near Yeji). Also observed near Gambaga. 



Common, frequenting the rivers in small parties.

Galactochrysea marchei Sharpe, Cat. B. xxiv. p. 726. 



Glareola megapoda Reichen. J. f. O. 1897, p. 3 (Togoland). 



River Volta (near Krachi). 



We found this bird in small colonies, frequenting the rocky- 

 portions of the river from Krachi downwards. 



We never met with G. cinerea, though it has been obtained 

 on this river, and by Capt. Gifford on the Upper White Volta, 

 near Gambaga. It must be a rare bird. 



Our examples of G. marchii are paler on the upper and 

 under parts than the specimens in the British Museum from 

 the Niger. The habit which this bird has of basking on the 

 rocks in the full glare of the sun must soon bleach the 

 plumage and cause the gloss to disappear from the upper 

 parts.

 Queensland. By Kendal Broadbent. 



The following list comprises the names of the species which 

 I met with on Mount Bellenden-Ker, the highest mountain in 

 Queensland, during the months of June, July, and August 

 1889. As specimens from that locality have been from time 

 to time mentioned in various works, I think that it may be 

 of interest to the readers of ' The Ibis ' to have full particulars 

 in their hands. The aggregate would have been greater had
