loiiration of the pluraage between the members of the genera 

 Turacus and Gallirex f. i. the crimson on the quills etc. pro- 

 ves that sueh characteristics sometimes are more stubbornly 

 retained than morphological features like the situation of the 

 nostrils etc. The vahie of the colour pattern for taxonomic 

 purposes is strenghtened by such examples.

I did not meet with this bird during my expedition to 

 Brit. East Africa, nor did Sjöstedt find it in the Kihman- 

 jaro region, nor was it contained in the collection from the 

 latter region which Oberholser described 1905. Donya Sa- 

 buk appears thus to be the northernmost iocahty known for 

 this species. It is not reported by Gurney who collected at 

 Donya Sabuk (Ibis, 1909).

Typical darkt-hroated birds. 



No yellow shoulderpatch, but the wingcoverts edged with 

 whitish. Throat whitish, the feathers of the rump with 

 broad white edges, but not entirely white. I suppose, this 

 is an immature bird. 



45. Indicator major Steph. — 1 ^ V^s Donya Sabuk. 

 This bird is quite typical with regard to the coloura- 



tion and agrees fully with the descriptions. It does not at 

 all resemble a young bird, as it ought to, if Mr. Boyd 

 Alexander's hypothese^ was right, viz. that birds with such 

 a plumage, as has been described for I. major, were the 

 young of /. indicator. Not having sufficient material for
