140 Second Supplement to the Catalogue of [No. SI 



on the Neilgherries, and occasionally in other parts of the Mal- 

 abar Coast. 



* No. 217 bis. — Bucco zet/lanicus—lj^h.—B. li?icatus, Tic- 

 kell — B. caniceps Franklin — B. viridis Jerdon Cat., in part. — 

 This large Bucco is found in all the jungles of India, as well 

 on the East as on the West Coast. I have specimens from 

 Malabar, and the Eastern Ghauts— and have seen others fro>m 

 Goomsoor, and Bengal. The individuals appear to differ 

 somewhat in the form of the bill — but this is not sufficient, 

 I imagine, to form grounds for their separation — as specifically 

 distinct. 



Length 10J inches, W. 5, T.3J, Bill (front) 1A, Tars. lAths. 



* No. 216 bis. — Bucco barbiculus— Cuv. — A small species 

 obtained by Lord A. Hay from the jungles of Malabar*- and 

 of which I had no description, was thus named by Mr. Blyth,' 

 to whom I sent a specimen for examination. 



Length 6 inches, W. 3tV, T. 1 J, Bill (front) Mhs. 



It differs chiefly from B. Indicus in the red of the fore part 

 of the head not reaching so far back, and in having all the 

 parts that are yellow in Indicus, bright red ; also in wanting 

 the striated lower plumage. 



No. 222. — Cuculus fugax. — I think that this the common 

 species of India should.be named Cuculus Lathami, the name 

 given to the adult bird in Gray and Hardwicke's Illustrations ; 

 I have not seen, nor heard of its having been obtained from 

 any of the Malay countries, and a species in Lord Arthur 

 Hay's collection from Malacca, appears to correspond with 

 Horsfield's description. 



* No. 222 bis.— Cuculus micropterus Gould.— I have obtain- 

 ed this Cuckoo of late, once in the Carnatic near Nellore. It 

 also probably occurs in the "West Coast, but it is certainly rare 

 in the South of India. 



No. 223 — Cuculus himalayanus. — Mr. Blyth has referred 

 a specimen sent him of this bird to the Cuculus sonneratii.
