 several species which had remained undetermined in our cabinets. Among

 Hartlaub, were Nicator cMoris (p. 360), Hyphantornis xanthopterus 

 (p. 399), and Erythrocercus livingstonei (p. 302). 



Mr. G. R. Gray described a new Touraco as Turacus livingstonei 

 (P.Z.S., 1864, p. 44) and I named the Zambesi Babbling Thrush Crater- 

 opus kirki (Sharpe, ed. Layard, B. S. Afr., p. 213, 1875).

 pp. 673-679; 1881, pp. 561-602, pi. lii.). Several new species were
