Genus G. Lohotus, Eeichenb. 

 1. Lohotus lobatus {Temm.). Hab. Gold Coast. 



Genus 7. Camjjojjhaga, Vieill. 

 I was not. a little surprised to find that it is impossible to separate the African Cuckoo-Sbrikes 

 (Campophaga , V: Lanicterus, Less.) from the Volvocivorae of India and I was very pleased to find tliat 

 Sundevall liad also come to this conclusion in bis 'Tentamen'. They are slender billed birds with very long 

 tails, and the ouly difference to be noticed between the African and Indian members of the genus is the 

 slightly metallic plumage of the former. This, however, being in my opinion no valid ground for generic 

 Separation, Volvocivora beconies a synonym of Campiophaga, in which genus I propose to place the follo- 

 wing species: 



1. C. phcfcnicea {Lath.). Hab. W. & N. E. Africa. 



2. C. xanthornoides (Less.). Hab. W. & N. E. Africa. 



3. C. hartlaubi {Salvacl). Hab. S. E. Africa. 



4. f. nigra, F. Hab. S. Africa. 



5. C. quiscalina (Finsch). Hab. W. Africa. 



Dr. Peters has kindly sent me the type of Campephaga fulgkla, Reichenow, J. f. 0. 1874, p. 345, 

 1875, p. 26, and I find it identical with C- quiscalina, of which the type is now in the British Museum. 



6. C. lugubris (Sund.). Hab. India. 



7. C. intermedia (Htime). Hab. Tenasserim. 



8. C. saturata (Sicinh.). Hab- Hainan. 



9. C. melanoptera (Rüpp.). Hab. ßnrmah. 



10. C. neglecta (Hume). Hab. Tenasserim. 



11. C. polioptera, Skarpe.
