Usambara mountains. 



This species ranges throughout the entire African region, but 

 migrates northward of the tropics about May. 



23. CORACIAS CAUDATA.

1879, pp. 283, 291 ; Gurney, Ibis, 1881, p. 124. 

 Pangani; Usambara mountains ; Dar-es- Salaam. 



This is a common bird, and very generally distributed throughout 

 East Africa, extending as far north as Bogue, near the southern 

 extremity of the Victoria Nyanza, where it has been collected by 

 Captain Speke. It also ranges over the whole of South Africa and 

 Angola. 



24. CORACIAS NiEVIA. 



Goracias ncevia, Daud., Sharpe, Ibis, 1871, p. 190. 

 Dar-es-Salaam. 



This species ranges throughout Africa south of about 1 7° N. lat., 

 but is here recorded for the first time from East Africa. 



25. Hapaloderma constantia. 



Trogon narina (part.), Finsch & Hartl. Vog. Ostafr. p. 155; 

 Fischer & Reichenow, J. f. O. 1878, p. 253 ; Fischer, J. f. O. 1879, 

 pp. 288, 289 ; Fischer & Reichenow, torn. cit. p. 342 ; Gurney, Ibis, 

 1881, p. 124. 



Hapaloderma constantia, Sharpe & Ussher, Ibis, 1872, p. 281. 



Melinda ; Usambara mountains. 



These two specimens agree perfectly with one of the types of 

 H. constantia in my own collection. 



This race, as yet only recorded from Fantee and the Zanzibar 

 coast, is, I suspect, the one which inhabits North-eastern Africa, 

 H. narina (Vieill.) being probably confined to South Africa. Jointly 

 these races inhabit the whole of Africa south of the equator, and 

 extend northward to Ailet ou the Red Sea and to Fantee on the 

 west coast.
