[A few examples of the Equatorial Barbet were seen in the wooded valleys of 



Euwenzori all along the range. The species was by no means common and was never 



observed above an altitude of 5000 ft. It was also seen in the Semliki Valley, near 



Lake Albert.— i?. B. IV.]

Iris crimson ; bill and feet black. 



The type of this species, which was procured by Dr. W. J. Ansorge at Port Alice, 

 Lake Victoria, is quite a young bird. Adult specimens have now been sent home from 

 Entebbe (Jackson Collection) and the Mpanga Forest, and show that T. cmsorgei is 

 really quite distinct from the allied T. hirsutum (Swains.) from the Gold Coast. This 

 fact was not very self-evident when only the type-specimen was available for comparison.
