brown edges to the feathers and no indication of a rufous 

 patch on the sides of the chest ; a broad blackish superciliary 

 band, followed by a broad white band from the base of the 

 bill to the sides of the neck. Under surface black, each 

 feather with two or three narrow white bars, the basal one 

 of which is mostly interrupted and sometimes absent ; all 

 these white bars obsolete or only very narrow on the throat. 

 Iris brownish red ; bill blackish, with crimson line near the 

 base ; feet dull brown.

 middle toe without claw 45. 



Hab. Tukan Bessi Islands, S.E. of Celebes. 



Obs. This new species is nearest to H. sulcirostris from the 

 Sula Islands, but differs in the deep olive-brown upper side, 

 which in H. sulcirostris is brown with a strong rufous tinge, 

 especially on the wings ; the wing is also longer. H. kuehni 

 is also very close to H. saturata from New Guinea and 

 Salwatti, but differs in the darker and less uniform upper side, 

 the throat not entirely black, and the larger wing. H. cele- 

 bensis is much smaller, with a much shorter bill, and has a 

 paler, more olive upper surface. 



The new species is named after Mr. Heinrich Kiihn, who 

 has succeeded in making a collection on the hitherto zoolo- 

 gically unexplored Tukan Bessi Islands. 



Francolinus coqui angolensis, n. subsp. 



Differs from typical Francolinus coqui from the Transvaal 

 and other places in having much narrower and mGre nume- 

 rous black bars to the feathers of the entire under surface ; 

 the back and rump are slightly deeper brown and the lesser 

 upper wing-coverts rather more uniform greyish. 



Hab. Angola. Two males collected by Mr. Hubert C. 

 Pemberton at Bailundu (type) and on the Cuanza River. 



Mr. Ernst Hartert exhibited a new Sand-Martin from 

 S.W. Africa, which he characterized as follows: —
