REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDOOCXLII : 
ZYGODACTYLI. 
E/UPPELL, in the Mus. Senckenb. iii. p. 127, has given a list 
of the Climbing Birds observed by him in the north-east of 
Africa. 
They are as follows: — Picus poecephalus, schoensis, HempricJdi, 
cethiopicus, and abyssinicus ; Yunx torquilla, and cequatoralis ; Cu~ 
cuius canorus, solitarius, serratus, afer, Claasii, cupretis, and auratus ; 
Coccyzus glandarius ; Centroptis senegalensis, super ciliosus, and mo- 
nachus ; Indicator archipelagicus, and minor ; Bucco chrysozonicus ; 
Micropogon margaritatus ; Pogonias Icevirostris, melanocephalus, 
Vieilloti, Brucei, xndundatus; Trogon narina ; Psittacus rufivent7'is, 
fiavifro7is, Meyeri, Le Vaillanti, taranta, and cuhicularis ; Coi'ythaix 
leucotis ; Chizcerhis Z07iura, p>erso7iata, and leucogaster. In all, thirty- 
eight species, of which twelve were discovered by Riippell. 
CucuLiN^. — Riippell has clearly shown (Op. ant, cit. p. 122), that 
Cuculus serratus of the Cape and Abyssinia, is a different species from 
the O. melanoleucos of India. He has also given a minute description 
of Le VaiUant’s Cucuhis solitarius, which is also found in Abyssinia as 
well as at the Cape. 
W. Thompson has mentioned, in the Ann. ix. p. 225, four instances 
of the presence of the Coccyzus a7nericanus, Bonap., in the British 
Islands. 
Lesson, in the Rev. Zool. p. 210, has defined the Coccyzus erythropy- 
gus of San- Carlos, in Central America, as a new species. 
Gould has circumstantially described, in the Ann. ix, p. 237, two new 
species of Trogon from the Cordilleras: — 1. Trogon personatus, very 
like the Trogon atricollis, but the abdomen is scarlet instead of orange : 
2. Tr. (calurus) au7nceps, allied to the T. pavoninus, but larger ; bill 
bright yellow ; wing-coverts longer, &c. 
Lesson has described a third species from Realejo in Central America, 
as Trogon capistratus, and appended a description of the male of 
Tr. mexicanus, Sw. (Rev. Zool. p. 135.) 
Bucconid.®. — Hartlaub has described a Bucco malaccensis, allied to 
the B. ar7nillaris, but differing from it by the light blue throat, red 
cross-bands on the anterior part of back, want of the orange coloured 
breast-bands, &c. At the same time, he enumerates the species of Bucco 
particularly, and brings their number up to twenty-three. (Rev. Zool. 
p. 336.) 
Riippell (Op. ant. cit, p. 124) has discovered that the southern pro- 
vinces of Abyssinia are the habitat of the Pogonias Icevirostris, a fact 
not previously known.
