or abundant as in the species of Turacus ; most of the nostril 

 free. 



General character of the plumage as in Turacus. 

 Description of plumage. — Head, neck, chest, and breast 

 bright emerald-green shot with gold (Hoolcer^s green. No. 1). 

 Sides of head and chin grey, finely streaked with black on 

 account of the black hairs mixed with the feathers. Tip of 

 crest dark crimson-lake. Mantle and all the wing-coverts 

 except those of the outermost primaries, and the inner 

 remiges (next the bird's back), very bright metallic golden 

 green — brighter than in any species of Turacus, though 

 T. erytlirolopJius, and in a less degree some others, have such 

 a golden sheen. All the remiges except the innermost 

 secondaries red, with black outer edges and tips, as in all 

 species of Turacus, and Musophaga and Gallirex also ; but 

 the red in the present species is brighter and more inclining 

 to scarlet than in any other bird of the family which I have 

 examined. The short plumage covering the back and rump 

 dark bluish green with some metallic gloss. Tail purplish 

 blue. Belly slaty black. 



Dimensions of type. Wing 169, tail 190, tarsus 40, bill 

 from base (under the feathers) to tip 25 mm. 



Soft parts. Iris brown ; feet black ; bill dark red and 

 yellow. 



Type, ? ad.. No. 6920. Coll. by G. L. Bates in the Banso 

 Mts., north of Kumbo, 18 Sept., 1922, in a forested ravine — 

 altitude 6000 ft. 



Named after Mr. David Bannerman. 



Mr. Bates then exhibited a rare Dove : — 



Streptopelia lugens hypopyrrhus Reichw. 

 Three examples of this Dove, which had not hitherto been 

 brought to England, were shot during the Expedition — two at 

 Jos,. N. Nigeria (4400 ft.), and one halfway between 

 Ngaundere and Garua in Adamawa at an altitude of 1500 ft. 

 The type, which is in the Berlin Museum, was obtained by 

 Riggenbach at about the same place in Adamawa.
