th.at the first is identical with the latter. The figure also 

 agrees well with the type of S. peli, with the exception 

 of the eye, which is blue on the figure, and thus in full 

 contradiction with the description, where it is said to be 

 pale reddish brown. A specimen from the Casamanse River, 

 we purchased from Mr. Bouvier, shows but slight differences 

 from the type, too slight indeed to base a new species upon. 



* 8. Scotopelia ussheri. 



Scotopelia ussheri, Sharpe, Ibis 1871, pp. 101, 417, pi. 12; id. 

 Cat. Birds Br. Mus. Vol. II, p. 11. 



An adult female. Iris yellow, bill yellow, blackish at tip 

 and the cutting edge of the mandibles, base and cere yel- 

 low, feet yellow, claws yellowish horny. Wing 32 cm. 

 Gallilee Mountain. 



A comparison of this specimen with our Liberian S. bou- 

 vieri shows clearly the difference between both species, 

 though it cannot be denied that their resemblance is very 

 strong. 



9. Caprimulgus cinnamomeus, Sharpe. 



An unsexed specimen from Mount Olive, probably a 

 young male, with indications of white ends to the two 

 outermost pairs of tail-feathers and of white cross-bars 

 on the first, second, third and fourth primaries. Similar to 

 the specimens mentioned in Notes 1885, p. 156, but much 

 darker brown and ou the upper surface somewhat tinged 

 with gray. 



10. Scotornis longicauda (Drap.). 



Two specimens from the Gallilee Falls. 



11. Hirundo rustica, Linn. 



Hirundo rustica, Bütt. N. L. M. 1885, p. 158; id. 1888, p. 69.
