6. COCCYSTES SERRATUS. 



Limited to Africa, where its distribution appears to be 

 very restricted, being confined to the Cape Colony, whence it 

 ranges to Natal and the Transvaal, The specimens from the 

 Gold Coast seem to me to be a little smaller, but are other- 

 wise not specifically distinct. 



West-African Subregion. — ? Cape Lopez, Gaboon (Du- 

 Chaillu; cf. Cassin, Proc. Philad. Acad. 1856, p. 321). 

 Denkera, Fantee (Ussher ; Sharpe, Ibis, 1872, p. 68) . 



South- African Subregion. — Nel's Poort j common (Layard, 

 B. S. Afr. p. 252). Rondebosch, Karroo, in December and 

 January (Victorin ; Grill, Zool. Antecko. 1859, p. 42); Trans- 

 vaal, October and November (Ayres, Ibis, 1878, p. 408, 

 1885, p. 341). Grahamstown (T. C. Atmore; Sharpe, Cat. 

 Afr. B. p. 13). Natal (Ayres; Gurney, Ibis, 1859, p. 246). 



7. CoCCYSTES ALBONOTATUS. 



This appears to be the East-African representative of C. 

 serratus, from which it differs in being larger and in having 

 the tail-feathers tipped with white. So far as is known, it is 

 confined to the Zanzibar district and the adjoining countries. 

 Usambara Hills (Shelley, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 594) ; Mombasa

1. EUDYNAMIS ORIENTALIS. 



In Dr. Jerdon's ^ Birds of India ' (vol. i. p. 343) he says 

 of the Indian bird E. orientalis : — " The young female has 

 white spots and marks much tinged with rufous, and the 

 young male has a good deal of white in his plumage.'^ Also 

 that it extends to " part of Malayana and the Philippines.''
