1. JVisus Ilartlaubii, J. Verr. 



Butt. Notes 1885, p. 153. 



1 specimen (ad. Q), Du Queah River. 

 Exactly similar to that which I collected at Sofore Place. 



2. D ry otriorchis spectahilis. 



Astur spectahilis, Schl, Tijdschr. Dierk. I. p. 131, pi. 

 6 (1864); id. Mus. P.-B. Astures, p. 27, Revue p. 68. 



Dry otriorchis spectahilis, Shelley, Ibis 1874, p. 91; — 

 Sharpe, Cat. Birds Br. Mus. 1. p. 279 (1874). 



1 specimen (ad. Q), 22 Dec, Du Queah River. 



»Iris and cere yellow, bill black, yellow at the base, 

 feet yellow." 



As far as I know this is the third specimen of this 

 species, hitherto known to Ornithologists. The first 

 (typical) specimen is contained in the collections of our 

 Museum, the second, like the first from the Gold Coast, 

 is in the collection of Captain Shelley. The plumage of 

 Mr. Stampfli's specimen agrees tolerably well with the 

 description of the adult (Capt. Shelley's) specimen in Mr. 

 Sharpe's Catalogue. As Capt. Shelley plainly pointed out, 

 this bird forms a distinct genus and has nothing common 

 with Astur except the powerful high bill, while the struc- 

 ture of the narines alone would be sufQciently striking to 

 base a new genus upon. 



This species seems to be exceedingly rare.
