The north-eastern specimens agree with those from the Cape and India (Pegu, 
Bremen Mus.). 
The African one is not larger, as Dr. Cabanis suggests.—O. F. 
[The only specimen I saw.—IV. J.] 
165. CucuLus canorvs, Linn. 
Cuculus canorus, Riipp. Syst. Uebers. p. 96. no. 356 ; Heugl. Syst. Uebers. no. 502; id. Fauna des 
Roth. Meer. no. 205.

b. g. Between Massowah and Ain. August 22. 
Both specimens, in full dress, are similar in every respect to European ones. 
It may be remarked that C. chalybeus, Heugl. (Journ. f. Orn. 1862, p. 34), from the 
Abyssinian coast, is certainly the C. clamosus, Lath. (Levaill. t. 204). The Bremen 
Museum possesses one of Heuglin’s typical specimens, which shows no difference from 
southern ones.—0. F. 
(Mr. Blanford procured this species in Bogos in July or August. I never heard the 
ery of the Cuckoo.—VW. J.] 
166. Curysococcyx cupREuS (Bodd.). 
Chrysococcyx auratus, Riipp. Syst. Uebers. p. 96. no. 358 ; Heugl. Syst. Uebers. no. 504.

a. 6. Bejook. July 14 (no. 565). 
M. Heine, jun., is certainly mistaken in dividing this species into three geographical 
species. After having examined numerous specimens from’ the north-east, west, and 
south, I cannot see any reason for separating them.—0O. F. 
[Iris orange, eyelid also.
