412 Mr. C. H. B. Grant on a Collection of 



a-e. S ? ad. Mt. Maroto, 4300 & 6000 ft. Jan. 27- 

 28 & 30. 



/. $ ad. Pader, 3200 ft. Feb. 18. 



Totallength in flesh: (5* 16^-16 inches ; ? 16^-15 inches. 

 Wing: S 173-165 mm. ; ? 169-166 mm. 



All these six specimens are in moult and show strikingly 

 the difference between faded and new feathering. 



[Irides brown, eyelids red ; bill yellow, base green ; legs 

 and toes black. This species was first met with in the 

 Maroto Mts. ; it was common wherever sufficient vegetation 

 suited to its habits was found.] 



The original description of this species by Heuglin appears 

 to have been entirely overlooked ; it is contained in a letter 

 sent to L. Buvry, by whom it was communicated to the 

 ' Journal fiir Ornithologie.' The description reads as 

 follows : — '■' Corythaix mit langera weissen Federbusche und 

 gezahntem Schnabel : daher C leucolojjhus mihi." 



176. Turacus hartlaubi. Hartlaub^s Plantain-eater. 



Corijthaix hartlaubi Fischer & Reichw. Journ. fiir Orn. 

 1884, p. 52 : Meru Mt., nr. Kilimanjaro, German East 

 Africa. 



a. S ad. Hills south of Narossura, 7200 ft. Nov. 4. 



Total length in flesh : 15^ inches. Wing: 170 mm. 



This single specimen is in good dress, but slightly worn 

 and moulting in the tail. 



Fischer and Reichenow give the wing-measurement of 

 their type as 152 mm., which seems to point to its being a 

 young bird, as a young bird in the British Museum collection 

 has a wing of only 157 mm., whereas all the adults exceed 

 160 mm. 



The range of this species appears to be from northern 

 German East Africa to central British East Africa east of 

 Lake Victoria Nyanza. 



[Irides brown; bill dull red; legs and toes greyish 

 black. Quite common, four or five often being seen 

 together.]
