Shot at Meninga.—J. H. S. 
ALCEDINIDA. 
_ 85. Hatcyon sENEGALENSIs (Linn.): Hartl. P. Z. 8. 1863, 
p. 105. 
Meninga. Shot sitting on a tree over a brook.—J. H. 8, 
36. HaLcyon CHELICUTI (Stanley). 
This Halcyon seems to be the little H. chelicuti, not H. variegata 
(as entered in Dr. Hartlaub’s list, P. Z.S. 1863, p. 105), from which, 
however, it only differs in its smaller size. 
Bogue. Found in the forest.—J. H. S. 
BuceRorip2&. 
37. Bucorvus AByssINicus (Gm.). 
Unyoro. This Hornbill is found in flocks of four or five, feeding 
on the ground. When disturbed, they fly up into the trees. I saw 
them also in Madi.—J. H. S. 
38. Bucrros cristatus (Ripp.): Bp. Consp. p. 89. 
A head, apparently of this species. 
Only seen in Uganda, where it flies about in small flocks from 
tree to tree, and makes a very loud and harsh noise. 
39. Toccus MELANOLEUCUS (Licht.). 
Calao couronné, Levaill, Ois. d’ Afr. p. 234. 
Buceros coronatus, Shaw. 
Two examples, young and adult. Dr. Kirk’s collection from the 
Zambesi likewise contains examples of this species. In the young 
bird the bill is yellowish, and in two rather immature specimens 
shows a yellowish band towards the base. 
CAPRIMULGID2. 
40. CosMETORNIS VEXILLARIUS (Gould). 
Semiophorus veaillarius, Gould, Icon. Av. pl. in No. 2. 
At first I was inclined to consider a single specimen of this species 
brought home by Capt. Speke different from the true 8. vexillarius 
of Gould, and had intended to call it, after its discoverer, S. spekiz, 
under which name it is figured in a woodcut in Capt. Speke’s nar- 
rative of his expedition; I have, however, subsequently modified 
my opinion on this point. The only noticeable difference between 
the present specimen and Mr. Gould’s figure is in the colour of the 
elongated ninth primary, which in Capt. Speke’s bird has the inner
