Ghigi on the Crested Guinea-fowls and on a neiv Pheasant.

Some years ago Prof. Ghigi of Bologna described two 

 new forms of the genus Guttera. One of these, based on 

 a living example obtained from M. Rambaud of Marseilles, 

 he named G. barbata; the second was based on the Crested 

 Guinea-fowl of the Zambesi region, which he separated from 

 that inhabiting Zululand and Natal. 



Prof. Ghigi has recently had an opportunity of examining 

 further examples of these two forms living in the Zoological 

 Gardens of Berlin and Hamburg, and he now takes this 

 opportunity of offering a resume of the various forms of the 

 genus inhabiting eastern Africa, with additional descriptions 

 and a key. Altogether, eleven forms are included in the key.
