representative of the bulbuls or fruit thrushes which 
are found in great variety in Asia, and particularly 
in India; they are characterized by their sprightli- 
ness, bright colors and, in many species, attractive 
song, and are, in consequence, general favorites both 
in their wild state and as cage birds.

Hab., East Africa. 
A pair of these small hornbills was acquired by pur- 
chase on June 20th. 
White-crested Touracou {Turacus corythaix Wagler). 
A fine species of a genus which possesses, in common 
with many of the family Musophagidce or plantain- 
eaters, the extraordinary peculiarity that the bril- 
liant crimson of the primary feathers contains a rare 
metallic pigment known as turacin, from which 
copper has been extracted.
