blue without any trace of green. This distinction is quite 

 obvious when the Woodbush Lourics are compared with those 

 from Kuysna. Neumann's type is an adult male from the 

 Kaap near Barberton in the Transvaal, now in the Liverpool 

 jNluseum, and he also mentions two examples in the British 

 Museum from the Lydenbnrg District. Others from Knysna, 

 Elands Post, and King Williamstown in Cape Colony, and 

 from Durban, all specimens in the British Museum, are 

 typical T. corytlia'uv. 



[" Lourie " of the Transvaal Colonists. 



Only in the forest of the Woodbush Hills in the Nortli- 

 Eastern Transvaal have I seen this form of the Knysna 

 Louiie. There it is decidedly plentiful, and in every haljit 

 and action it resembles the southern T. corytJiaix and cannot, 

 until handled, be distinguished from that species. The soft 

 parts are also similar.] 



480. TUHACUS LIVINGSTONII.

["Nkurukuru" of the Gorongozas. 



Livingstone's Turaco much resembles in general habits the 

 common T. corythaix. I have found it only in forest country 

 and either singly or in pairs, never in flocks. It was by no 

 means plentiful in the Gorongoza forests, where it frequented 

 the denser parts and was more often heard than seen. The 

 cry is similar to that of T. corythaix^ but rather harsher. 

 The native name is derived from its alarm-note. 



The soft parts are : — L'ides brown ; orbits red ; bill red- 

 orange ; legs and toes black.]

P. ]Masambeti, Nov. {!). 



This bird, taken for the first time within South African 

 limits, differs from T.livinystonii very much in the same way 

 in which T. c. phwhiis ditfers from 1\ corythaix, by the pure 

 blue metallic coloration of the lower back, wings, and tail, 

 without any traces of green.
