142 Second Supplement to the Catalogue of [No. 31 



the Taccocua Leschenaidtu of Lesson, whose generic name, 

 though not very euphonous, will stand for this division, which 

 is very separable from Zanclostomus , partaking more of the 

 habits of Centropus, feeding a good deal on the ground. 



No. 231 bis. Suppl. Cat. — Centropus bengalensis. — As I 

 have lately obtained a specimen of Centropus lepidus fiom 

 the Eastern Ghauts, I am inclined to believe that it was this 

 species that was observed by Mr. Elliot in the Southern 

 Mahratta country. 



No. 23o~Cinnyris polita. — It appears that the name of 

 Lotenice — L., must stand for this Honeysucker, as it was 

 originally given by Linnaeus to a bird from Ceylon, and was 

 afterwards misapplied to an African, or Madagascar species, 

 somewhat allied in colouring. 



No. 236 — Cinn vigorsii. — This handsome species is C. 

 qoalparieusis, Royle — C. miles, Hodgson — and Nectarinia 

 Seherice of Tickell. 



No. 236 bis. Suppl. Cat. — C. longirostris. — This is the 

 inornata of Temminck, now referred to arachnothera. 



* No. 237 bis. — Dicoeum crythrorhynchos, Latham, D. Tic- 

 kellice, Blyth. — I obtained a specimen of this little species 

 from Malabar through the kindness of my friend Mr. Ward. 



No. 238 — Upupa minor. — Mr. Blyth considers the lesser 

 Hoopooe of Southern India to be identical with the West 

 African species named Sencgalc?isis by Swainson — and distinct 

 from minor of S. Africa. 



* No. 238 bis. — Upupa Epops. — The European Iloopooe, 

 common in Bengal, is also occasionally found here. I obtained 

 it on the Neilgherries only. 



No. 240 — Merops PJiilippinus. — On comparing the figure 

 in the PI. Enl., I think that our large Bee-eater is not the one 

 there represented, and a Malacca specimen in Lord A. Hay's 

 collection agrees much better with the figure — Merops
