This specimen is true L. flrivirostris, and not L. somaliensis of 

 Reichenow (c/. Salvadori, I. c.^. 



According to Heuglin, this Hornbill lives in pairs and families 

 in the hot valleys of Schoholand, frequenting high trees and the 

 i\^a6r/'/-bu8hes, which are found in the Bay of Adulis and Samhar, 

 as well as near Moiet Schahadi below Mekulu, but not in the 

 coast-districts proper. It is apparently to be found along the 

 mountain fringes of the Danakil and Adel coasts to Somali-land. 

 Antiuori states that it is common on the plains and on the 

 lower " Kolla " of Shoa, but does not ascend to any height. It has 

 occurred at Ndi in the Teita district, to the east of Kilima-ujaro, 

 but was not in Mr. Jackson's collections.
