 [Lady Ross's Touraco was plentiful at Entebbe, but was not seen either in the 

 Toro district or on Ruwenzori. — li. B. IF.]

[A few examples of King Leopold's Touraco were seen in the acacia- trees around 

 the south end of Ruwenzori ; it was evidently a rare bird. — B. B. W.]

Iris dark hazel or chocolate ; eyelid scarlet ; bare skin in front of the eye yellow, 

 that below and behind the eye scarlet; bill light green, black at the tip and pink at 

 the base; feet black. 



A closely allied form of this splendid Touraco has been recently discovered by 

 Herr R. Grauer on the Mufumbiro Volcanoes*, and has been described by Prof. 

 Neumann as Buwenzorornis johnstoni kivuenses [cf. Bull. B. O. C. xxi. p. 54 (190S)]. 

 The fact that that species has the area round the eye feathered as in Gallirex proves 

 that the genus Buvoenzorcrnis, proposed by Prof. Neumann, is superfluous. 



[Johnston's Touraco inhabits the upper part of the forest-zone. It is most plentiful 

 at an altitude of about 9000 ft., among the bamboo and Podocarpus trees, and feeds 

 largely on the berries of the latter. It was occasionally to be found as low down as 

 8500 ft., but never lower, and was sometimes seen as high as 11,000 ft. 



* Profesaor Neumann gives the locality " Western Kivu Volcanoes " ; but there has evidently been some 

 fusion about the locality, for Mount Sabjingo (or, as it is more correctly written, Sabyino) forms part of the 

 Mufumbiro Mountains and lies to the north-east of Lake Kivu.
