It is undoubtedly new, and I take great pleasure in naming it after its 
discoverer. May he add many more interesting novelties to our 
knowledge of African ornithology !—(G. H.) Only one specimen 
was obtained of this Finch. It was brought to me alive, having been 
trapped by a native near Bembe. Said to be found in flocks, like 
Spermestes poénsis.—(J. J .M.) 
17. LAMPROCOLIUS SPLENDIDUS (Vieill.). 
Tolerably common at Bembe, and more so near the coast, being 
found in flocks of from twenty to thirty. It has a clear whistle like 
a Starling (Stwrnus). There is another smaller species of this group 
very abundant. 
18. ZANCLOSTOMUS ZNEUS, Vieill. 
First described by Perrein from an Angolan specimen.—(G. H.) 
Found only in the interior.—(J. J. M.) 
19. CHALCITES SMARAGDINEUS, Sw. 
Brought to me alive from Encége, two days’ journey to the south 
of Bembe, where they are said to be abundant.—(J. J. M.) 
20. TRERON NUDIROSTRIS, Sw. 
Identical with Abyssinian specimens.—(G.H.) Very common 
both on the coast and in the interior. Fat and good toeat. Found 
generally among the branches of the Adansonia digitata, which is 
very abundant on the coast. This pigeon is called ‘ Eneuturuga.”

21. PorpHyRIO ALLENI, Thomp. 
Differing from Abyssinian specimens only in the rather darker and 
more olive shade of the back.—(G. H.) Very abundant in the 
interior. I had seven alive at one time in my garden at Bembe. 
They are very tame in captivity. Ina wild state, they haunt the 
rivulets and marshes, and are known as “ Lnsuso en maza,”’ or 
Waterhen.—(J. J. M.) 
22. Suva carensis, Licht. 
Seen at Ambriz on the beach, where it is common, and subse- 
quently at Loanda.—(J. J. M.) 
In conclusion, I may remark that the Black-cheeked Monkey 
(Cercopithecus melanogenys) described by Dr. Gray in the Proceed- 
ings of this Society for 1849, and figured Mamm. PI. IX. fig. 1, is 
very abundant at Encége, three days’ journey to the south of Bembe. 
About Bembe I have seen but one species, probably of the same 
genus, but of much larger size and of uniform colouring.—/(J.J.M.)
