Birds from North-east Rhodesia. 105 



419. Halcyon okientalis. (Brown-hooded Kingfisher.) 

 (a). Opposite Feira, Sept. '03. 



(b) . Serenji, Aug. ^05. 



The last two mentioned species are not very easy to 

 distinguish in life and, as far as I can see, their haunts and 

 habits are very similar. 



420, Halcyon chelicitti. (Striped Kingfisher.) 

 (a) $ . Karoka's, Mpika distr., Sept. '05. 



425. CoLius ERYTHKOMELON. (Red-faced Mouse-Bird.) 

 (a). No label. 



The Red-faced Mouse-Bird is plentiful about Feira, but I 

 do not remember finding it common elsewhere. 



426. BucoRAx CAFER. (Brom-Vogel.) 

 (a) $ . No label. 



Occasionally met with in twos and threes. 



427. Bycanistes buccinator. (Trumpeter Hornbill.) 

 (a) 9 . Mtambvva's, Jan. '05. 



428. LoPHOCEROS melanoleucus. (Crowned Hornbill.) 

 (a). No locality. 



430. LoPHOCEROS epirhinus. (South African Grey Horn- 

 bill.) 



(a) juv. Opposite Feira, Sept. '03. 

 (6). George's Ferry, Mar. '04. 

 (c) juv. Korasisi, Sept. '04. 



431. LoPHOCEROs erythrorhynchus. (Red-billed Horn- 

 bill.) 



(a) $ . Kanyani, Jan. '05. 



Of these three Hornbills the first two are widely dis- 

 tributed, the other, the Red-billed, is rather local, apparently 

 liking tall trees. 



— . Campothera chrysuea (Swains.). (Golden-tailed 

 Woodpecker var.) 



(a). Serenji, Sept. '05. 



[This species is very closely allied to C. abingdoni (Golden- 

 tailed Woodpecker), which indeed in considered by Reichenow 

 (Vog. Afr. ii. p. 173) as merely a subspecies of C. chrysura.
