Introduction. 



Mr. Willoiigliby Lowe has drawn my attention to the 

 altitude given by him of Lake Hanningtoii, i. e. 6700 ft., 

 whereas the maps give tlie altitude as 6200 ft., the differ- 

 ence of 500 ft. being due, Mr. Lowe tells me, to his aneroid 

 having become slightly dei'anged. 



This second part covers 78 species and subspecies, making 

 a total of 170 to the cud of the Swifts, and the new sub- 

 species described herein or in the Bulletia of the British 

 Ornithologists^ Club are four in number, as follows :'- — 



Poicephalus meyeri neavei, Halcyon leucocephala ogilviei, 

 Irrisor erijthrorhynchus ruivenzorce, and Melittophagus varie- 

 gatiis bangweoloensis. 



I have again to thank the gentlemen named in Part I. 

 for their continued great assistance and help ; while to 

 Mr. Rothschild and Dr. Hartert, and to Dr. Clubb I am 

 indebted for the kind loan of several valuable specimens 

 from Tring and Liverpool. 



I regret that through an oversight Capt. Cosens^ name 

 was misspelled iu the iirst part of this paper.
