604 MR. R. B. SHARPE ON THE BIRDS OF CAMEROONS. [June 20, 



Fam. Bucerotid.e. 



7. Berenicornis albocristatus. 



Berenicornis albocristata, Cass. Journ. Acad. Philad. i. pi, xv. 



Three specimens. I must remark that all the specimens received 

 from Fantee differ conspicuously in being much smaller, and in 

 having the wing scarcely tipped with white. The bill also is very 

 different, being much smaller in the Fantee bird. Although I have a 

 good series of these Hornbills, I must wait for further evidence before 

 describing the Fantee bird as new, as Cassiu's original type came 

 from Sierra Leone, and agrees with the Gaboon bird and not with 

 that from Fantee, as one would expect. The accompanying figure 

 illustrates the differences in the Hombills from the two localities.

8. Tockus PULCHRIROSTRIS. 



Tockus pulchrirostris (Schl.); Sharpe, Cat. Afr. B. p. 9. 



"Cameroon Mountains, February 4th, 1871. Eye-ring grey; 

 eyeball black." 



As far as I can see, the single specimen sent by Mr. Crossley is 

 inseparable from Fantee examples in my collection.
