89. Ratlin a oculea (Hartl.). 



Three adult specimens, Gallilee Mountain and Mount 

 Olive. 



90. Corethrura pule lira (J. E. Gray). 



Two adult specimens, Mount Olive. 



91. Himantornis haematopus, Temm. 

 Several specimens , all in adult stage , Farmington River. 



92. Podica senegalensis (Vieill.). 



Heliornis senegalensis, Bütt. N. L. M. 1886, p. 267; id. 1888, 

 p. 103. 



A male specimen with spotted under surface, was ob- 

 tained on the Farmington River, but, unfortunately, no date 

 mentioned. It is similar in every respect to the male de- 

 scribed by me in the »Notes", 1888, p. 104, with the 

 exception that its wing-coverts are more broadly spotted 

 with white , and that the slaty gray throat is flanked by 

 a broad stripe of black- and white feathers, running from 

 the angle of the mouth and uniting afterwards with the 

 narrower band of white, which begins at the hind angle 

 of the eye and separates the hind neck from the fore neck. 

 The white tips to the tail-feathers are very broad. In the 

 mentioned description 1, by mistake, called the color of the 

 back chocolate brown , while in reality it is olive brown. 

 The measurements in both birds are about the same, the 

 present one is even slightly larger than that from the 

 Junk River. The claw of the thumb is well-developed, 

 very sharp and but slightly curved.
