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 9-8 inches, culmen 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 Meropide, 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. SHe.uey. 
[Received February 25, 1882.] 
(Plate XVII.) 
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).

Ugogo. 
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.
