142 Second Supplement to the Catalogue of [No. 31 



the Taccocua Leschenaultu 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 from 

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

 species that was observed by Mr. Elliot in the Southern 

 Mahratta country. 



No. 233 — 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,

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

 inornata of Temminck, now referred to arachnothera. 



* No. 237 bis. — Dicceum erythrorhynchos , Latham, D. Tic- 

 kellice, Ely tli. — 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 Senegalensis by Swainson — and distinct

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

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

 it on the Neilgherries only. h c I 



No. 240 — Merops Philippinus. — 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
