Crithagra chrysopyga (Swaius.), Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 715; 

 Fischer & Reichenow, J. f. O. 1878, p. 266. 



Lamo ; Usambara hills. 



This species ranges throughout South Africa and West Africa to 

 as far north as Senegal. On the east coast it extends certainly as 

 far north as Lamo, and probably considerably further in this di- 

 rection ; but as yet I am unable to determine how much of Von 

 Heuglin's C. butyracea may belong to this species.

Pangani; Usambara mountains ; Dar-es-Salaam. 



This species is confined to East Africa, where it ranges from about 

 10° N. lat. to Dar-es-Salaam. 



131. Gallirex chlorochlamys. 



Corythaix porphyreolophus, Finsch & Hartl. Vog. Ostafr. p. 473. 



Gallirex clilorochlamys, Shelley, Ibis, 1881, p. 118. 



Ugogo ; Dar-es-Salaam. 



Three specimens from the above localities I have made the types 

 of this new species. It is the East-African representative of G.por- 

 phyreolophus (Vig.), from which latter bird it may be most readily 

 distinguished by the absence of any red shade to the green of the 

 lower neck, chest, and upper back ; while the lower back, median 

 and lesser wing-coverts, and the secondaries are of a more ashy-blue 

 shade. 



132. TURACUS FISCHERI. 



Corythaix fiseheri, Fischer & Reichenow, J. f. 0. 1878, p. 250, 

 pi. 4. fig. 1 ; Fischer, tom. cit. pp. 290, 354 ; id. J. f. O. 1879, 

 pp. 288, 291, 303 ; Fischer & Reichenow, tom. cit. p. 340 ; 

 Fischer, J. f. F. 1880, p. 189. 



Lamo ; Melinda ; Usambara mountains ; Rabbai near Mombas 

 (Wahefield). 



This species is confined to the Zanzibar province. 



We now know of three species of Turacus with red on the crest ; 

 and these may be readily distinguished in the following manner : — 



a. Greater portion of the crest and nape red. Some of the 

 crest-feathers tipped with white. 

 a'. No black loral band. Sides of the head white, or nearly 



so eri/tkrolophus. 



b'. With a black loral band. Sides of the head grass-green . fiseheri. 

 h. Red on the crest confuied to the tips of a few of the longer 



fertthers. No white on the crest meriani.
