We have introduced this species of Malkoha on 

 the authority of Monsieur Le Vaillant, who de- 

 scribed and figured it from the cabinet of M. Tem- 

 minck of Amsterdam. It is a native of Africa 3 

 and may be sufficiently distinguished by the spe- 

 cific character from the two other species. The 

 colour of the naked part surrounding the eyes is 

 probably red.
