11. On a new Species of Notauges (N. hildebrandti, Cab.). 

 By Dr. G. Hartlaub. 



[Eeceived June 17, 1878.] 



The Museum of Natural History of Bremen has been enriched of 

 late with a fine adult specimen of a new typical Notauges, discovered 

 by the famous traveller Mr. Hildebrandt, in Eastern Africa. The 

 exact place where he collected this interesting bird is " Tkanga in 

 Ukamba." 



Mas ad. capite, gutture, dorso, tergo, uropygio, supracaudalibus , 

 teciricibus alarum minoribus margineque alari chalybeis, nitore 

 purpurascente ; collo postico late et circumscripte ceneo-vire- 

 scente ; alls duabus seriebus macularum holosericeo-nigrarum 

 bifasciatis ; teciricibus alarum majoribus viridi-ceneis ; remigibus 

 primariis in pogonio externo azneo-ca-rulescentibus, obscure macu- 

 latis, interno nigris ; tectricibus minoribus in pogonio externo 

 unicoloribus ceneo-virentibus ; pectore, abdomine, cruribus et sub- 

 caudalibus cinnamomeo-rufis ; subalaribus majoribus rujis, minori- 

 bus chalybeis ; rectricibus ccerulescenti-<eneis, minus distincte 

 undulatis ; rostro et pedibus nigris ; iride aurantiaco-rubra. 

 Long. 19 centim., rostr. afr. 18 mill., al. 123 mill., caud. 83 mill., 

 tars. 30 mill. 



The steel-blue colour of the head is less brilliant on the crown ; 

 there appear some rufous feathers on the uropygium ; and some of 

 the upper tail-coverts have a slight rufous terminal edging ; the first 

 primary is of a uniform blackish colour. 



In Notauges superbus (Abyssinia, Shoa) the colouring is very 

 different : the upper parts are brown-green, the vent and under 

 tail-coverts are white, and there are other differences. 



Mr, Hildebrandt told me that during his many excursions in East 

 Africa he never met with Notauges albicapillus, Blyth. This is cer- 

 tainly one of the rarest birds, the Calcutta specimen collected by 

 Speke and Burton being as yet the only one known.
