Birds from British East Africa and U(janda. 411 



they agree perfectly in every detail. The first-named cer- 

 tainly differs from T. I. chalcolophus, with which Prof. 

 Neumann compared his specimen, but is exactly similar to 

 T. s. marungensis, even to the colour of the tail. Neumann's 

 name must, therefore, become a synonym. 



Long feathers of crest blue before the white tips, short 

 feathers on poll green with white tips, white line under eye. 



Range. North-eastern Ehodesia and Nyasaland, north- 

 wards to southern British East Africa. 



Prof. Neumann in the Nov. Zool. 1908, p. 377, suggested 

 the possibility of Turacus reichenoivi being a distinct speciex, 

 and I think this should be established. 



Turacus reichenowi. 



Corythaix reichenowi Fischer, Orn. Centralb. 1880, p. 174 : 

 Nguru-Berge, German East Africa. 



Form and coloration of crest as in T. I. livingstonii (see 

 also Journ. fiir Orn. 1885, pi. v. fig. 5, though apparently 

 no great reliance can be placed on these figures, as the head 

 of C livingstonii figured, on this plate does not agree with the 

 type and a large series in the British Museum collection) ; 

 median, greater coverts, and secondaries of wings, rump, and 

 tail deep blue. 



Range. Nguru and Dar-es-Salaam in German East 

 Africa, southwards to Beira, Portuguese East Africa. 



By dividing these Turacos into two separate groups and 

 reinstating T. reichenowi with the rank of a species, the 

 muddle that has hitherto existed is elucidated, and the geo- 

 graphical races are more clearly defined ; also by adopting 

 this arrangement two subspecies do not occupy the same 

 area, as would be the case if T. cabanisi and T. marungensis 

 were placed under T. livingstonii, instead of being made 

 subspecies of two distinct species as here proposed. 



175. Turacus leucolophus. Heuglin's White - crested 

 Plantain-eater. 



Corythaix leucolophus Ileugl. Journ. fiir Orn. 1855, p. Go : 

 Bahr-el-Abiad, i. e. Upper White Nile.
