254 MALKOHA. 



3— WHITE-BELLIED MALKOHA. 



Phoenicophaus leucogaster, White-bellied Malkoba, Gen. Zool. ix. p. 60. 

 Le Malkoha, Levail. Afr: v. p. 90. pi. 224 ? 



LENGTH nine inches ; bare space round the eyes orange ; plu- 

 mage above greenish black, inclining to green on the wing coverts, 

 back and tail ; quills black, bordered with black-green, and in some 

 birds whitish on the interior edges ; neck and throat dull green ; 

 feathers of the belly and beneath the tail margined with white; those 

 of the shins dirty white. 



Specimens of this bird are to be seen in the collections of Paris 

 and Amsterdam. — The length is said to be only nine inches; but we 

 suspect this to mean independent of the tail, for, if it is the bird quoted 

 from Levaillant, that, including the tail, is sixteen inches ; and T 

 further suspect, that the three before described, and this, may hereafter 

 be found to belong only to one Species, in different stages of growth 

 or sex.

Phoenicophaus melanognathus, Lin. Trans, xiii. p. 178.— Horsfield.

 the middle of the beak ; colour of the plumage above glossy green 

 gold; beneath, and a broad space of the tail chestnut ; jaws yellowish ;
