I have now the pleasure of bringing to the notice of the Society a 
second collection of birds from this locality, forwarded to me by Mr. 
Monteiro (cf. P. Z. S. 1869, p. 563). Most of the specimens are from 
Benguela, the southern province of Angola, a few being from the Rio 
Dande. The last-named locality is about halfway between Loanda 
and Ambriz, and, I believe, has never before been visited for the 
purposes of collecting. The whole of the present collection was 
purchased by Mr. Monteiro of Heer Sala, a Dutch naturalist now in 
Angola. The interesting notes usually added on the habits of the 
birds by Mr. Monteiro are therefore wanting ; but a few particulars 
as to the colouring of the soft parts, irides, &c. are given on the 
labels and are recorded in the present paper. 
The collection from Benguela appears to have been formed between 
the 30th of October and the 31st of December, 1868, at Kattenbella, 
and that from the Rio Dande between the end of January and the 
middle of July 1869. 
I have, as before, referred to the papers on Angolan ornithology 
by Mr. Monteiro, Dr. Hartlaub, and Professor Barboza du Bocage ; 
and a dagger (+) is attached to the species believed to be recorded 
from Angola for the first time. 
From Kattenbella.

I was at first inclined to consider this an undescribed species ; but 
on comparing my bird, in company with Dr. Tristram, one of our
