New Caledonia. 
Among other localities in which these birds are found, may be 
recorded all the islands that compose the group known as the New 
Hebrides. Mr. Bennett especially refers to Sandwich Island, where, 
he says, one of the species is known by the name of “'Tarboosh ;” 
while at Tanna, another of this group, a similar bird is denomi- 
nated in English the “ Bush-fowl.” 
They also inhabit the Salomon Islands, as eggs, certainly of a species 
of this genus have been brought lately from them ; and Mr. Bennett 
states that living specimens were obtained by Mr. Dawson at the 
Island of Sava or Russell Island*. Further, Downing, in his ‘ List 
of the Birds of Norfolk Island,’ mentions a bird under the appel- 
lation of ‘‘ Guinea Fowl,’’ which may prove eventually, when found, 
to be a species of Megapode ! 
2. Notice or A New Species or TurRACUS FROM EASTERN 
Arrica. By G. R. Gray. 
A new species of the interesting genus Twracus has just been 
brought by the Rev. C. Livingstone from the Manganja Highlands 
of East Africa, where it was obtained at an elevation of 3000 or 
4000 feet above the sea. 
It approaches the Turacus albocristatus in its general appearance, 
but the crest differs in form, being as it were bicrested; viz. the plumes 
from the crown are long and narrow, thus forming a crest pointed 
posteriorly, while those on the occiput are very short and closely set 
upon it. All the plumes of both parts are tipped with white. The 
rest of the plumage is very similar to that of Turacus albocristatus ; 
but the feathers of the back and wings are margined with shining 
golden green instead of bluish green, as is seen on the latter-men- 
tioned species. 
I propose the name of Twracus livingstonii, as a slight acknow- 
ledgment of that gentleman’s merit in adding so interesting a spe- 
cies to our knowledge of this showy genus. 
* This island is not to be found in any map or geographical dictionary that I 
am acquainted with, nor even in any of the missionary works treating especially 
on the islands of the South Seas.
