118 Mr. J. H. Gurney^'s Notes on 



This liandsome species I have named after Leopold, the 

 present King of the Belgians, whose interest in the geography 

 of Africa has rendered great service to scientific exploration, 

 especially in the eastern regions of that continent, where the 

 present species is found. 



Dr. Kirk has sent me two specimens of this bird from 

 Ugogo, which agree perfectly in colouring and measurements. 

 I presume them to be male and female. 



5. Gallirex chlorochlamys, sp. n. 



Closely allied to G. porplnjreolophus (Vig.), from which it 

 differs in the pure green of the neck, upper back, and front 

 of the chest, these parts having no shade of red, as is invari- 

 b!y the case in the more southern G . porplnjreolophus ; the 

 middle and lower back, not including the tail-coverts, are 

 ashy blue, with no metallic gloss and no green shade ; the 

 bkie of the wings is paler, and of a decidedly more ashy shade ; 

 the metallic green shade on the greater secondaries is barely 

 visible ; the tail is slightly bluer ; the abdomen and thighs 

 are paler and more ashy. Total length 16-4 inches, culmen 

 1-1, wing 7-2, tail 8, tarsus 1-8 



Hab. Ugogo and Dar-es- Salaam. 



This species I have named G. chlorochlamys, on account of 

 its green mantle. This feature is not possessed by its South- 

 African representative, G. porphyreolophus , which probably 

 does not range so far north as Dar-es-Salaam. 



The specimens before m« are two from Ugogo and one 

 from Dar-es-Salaam, all collected by Dr. Kirk.
