40. Arpra 1p, Hartlaub? 
[‘‘ Tambo-crats.”” | 
A single specimen in the collection agrees so very closely with Dr. 
Hartlaub’s description of Ardea ide (Orn. Beitr. Faun. Madag. 
p- 75) that I am inclined to refer it to that species, which is, how- 
ever, otherwise unknown to me. 
41. Lopnotisis cristata (Gmelin). 
[‘‘Ceakokar.” Iris golden brown; bill pale yellow ; face and legs 
flesh-colour. |

[‘‘ Cerea.” Brought alive from the interior. } 
43. DENDROCYGNA MAJOR, Jerdon. 
[‘“‘Tyca.” Brought from the interior. ] 
With respect to the identification of this species, I follow Mr. 
Sclater’s opinion (P. Z. 8S. 1864, p. 300).
