RiippelFs Red-winged Starling was procured at Dildila and 

 in the Managasha Forest near Addis Abbaba, also in Kaffa 

 and Kullo. A young male, killed in October, resembles the 

 adult male, but has the iris blue-black, and shows very little 

 gloss on the plumage ; the first primary has the terminal 

 third black, much as in A. blythi, an interesting point which 

 lias already been noticed by Dr. Reichenow. 



11. PCEOPTERA STUHLMANNI.

 Soc. xix. p. 2G6 (1910). 



Several specimens of Stuhlmann's Starling were jorocured 

 at Kullo in the middle of June. Sharpe was no doubt 

 correct in uniting P. greyi Jackson with the present species; 

 the type-specimen from Nandi agrees perfectly with the 

 males procured by Zaphiro at Kullo. A young male has 

 the plumage similar to that of the female including the 

 chestnut inner webs of the primary quills : a few darker 

 feathers like those of the adult male are visible on the sides 

 of the head and middle of the breast. 



12. Creatophora carunculata. 



Dilophus carunculatus (Gmel.) ; Ogilvie-Grant, Ibis, 1907, 

 p. 581. 



Examples of the Wattled Starling were procured in Arussi, 

 at Lake Helene, Konso, and Lake Ganjule. As is usually 

 the case most of the specimens are immature birds and none 

 show any trace of wattles. Those killed at Konso and Lake 

 Bakate between the end of August and the beginning of 

 September, are moulting the wing- and tail-feathers, and 

 a specimen from the latter locality is the most adult in the 

 series, its new quills being blackish with a cold greenish-lilac 

 metallic gloss.
