304 CAPT. G. E. SHELLEY ON BIRDS [Mar. 7, 



head a broad black band runs through the eye, margined beneath by 

 a rather narrower pale blue one ; chin and throat fawn colour, with 

 the ends of the feathers slightly more strongly washed with greenish 

 yellow than the crown ; remainder of the under surface green, with 

 the feathers of the abdomen and under tail-coverts washed with blue 

 towards their edges ; under surface of the quills brown, the basal 

 portion of their inner margins and the under wing-coverts pale fawn 

 colour ; under surface of the tail ashy brown, with a black terminal 

 bar. Bill and legs black. Total length 98 inches, culmeu 1, wing 

 3"1, tail 5"5, tarsus 0'4. 



I have named this bird after my friend Mr. Dresser, who is about 

 to publish a monograph of the Meropidcs, in acknowledgment 

 of the valuable services rendered to ornithology by his large work on 

 the Birds of Europe. 



3. A second List of Birds recently collected by Sir John 

 Kirk in Eastern Africa. By Captain G. E. Shelley. 

 [Eeceived February 25, 1882.] 

 (Plate XYII.) 



The collection of which the present paper treats was made by 

 Sir John Kirk chiefly in the neighbourhood of Mamboio, on the 

 eastern slopes of the mountain-range which separates Ugogo from 

 the Zanzibar Province, but also contains some specimens from 

 Ugogo country and two from Brava in South Somali-land, 1"^ N. lat. 



This paper is intended as a supplement to my former one (P. Z. S. 

 1881, pp. 561-602).

The head quarters of this Hawk is probably the unexplored regions 

 of Central Africa, 



This specimen, I presume, from its size is a female. In colouring 

 it is almost identical with my specimen from Lamo, but is, if any 

 thing, a shade duller.
