314. Asio leucotis erlangeri Og.-Grant. 
In the “ Ibis”, October, 1906, p. 660, Mr. Ogilvie-Grant shows 
that the typical leucotis is the northern form, so that the South 
African bird was without a name ; he gave to it the above name of 
erlangeri. 
323. Poicephalus meyeri (Cretzschm.). 
In the “ Ornithol. Monatsberichte ” for 1899 (p. 25) and the 
“ Journal f. Ornithologie” for 1898 (p. 501) 0. Neumann separates 
these two forms from the typical (northern) meyeri. As the series 
of Transvaal birds in the Museum vary enormously in tone and 
coloration, we fail to see justification for these separations, and 
would refer the matter for closer consideration. 
327. Agapornis nigrigenis W. L. Scl. 
The Museum contains a large series from North-Western 
Rhodesia, the Zambesi region above the Victoria Falls, and the 
Capri vi corner of German South-West Africa ; as the latter is well 
within the boundary of South Africa, this bird becomes an addition 
to the list. It can easily be distinguished from the other members 
of the genus by its dark-brown, almost black, cheeks and throat, 
salmon-pink patch on the breast, and chestnut forehead. 
333. Turacus corythaix phoebus Neum. 
Neumann separates the Transvaal lourie under this name, on 
the grounds that the upper back, remiges, and tail is almost wholly 
glossed with blue ; lower back and rump black with “ lilac-steel- 
blue ”, not green gloss. As the Museum possesses birds from 
Knysna, Cape Colony, which are but slightly less blue than the 
Transvaal specimens, the validity of the species requires investiga- 
tion. 
335. Turacus reichenowi (Fschr.). 
In the Bulletin B. Ornith. Club, No. CXLI (March, 1908), Mr. 
C. H. B. Grant records the occurrence of this species at Beira, 
Portuguese South-East Africa. It differs from living stonei in the 
back, wings and tail are glossed with steel blue, not green, as in 
that species. 
362. Lybius zombae (Shelley). 
The Transvaal Museum contains four examples of this bird, 
collected in the Boror district of Mozambique by Messrs. Kirby 
and Roberts. 
374. Dendromus malherbi (Pass.). 
Reichenow gives Zomba as included in the habitat of this 
bird, hence it must be included in our list. 
378. Dendromus scriptori cauda Rchw. 
There are several specimens of this bird, collected in the Boror 
territory by Messrs. Kirby and Roberts. 
382a. Dendropicos hartlaubi Malh. 
The Museum collection contains a series from Boror (Kirby 
and Roberts), and one from near Seslieke on the Zambesi River 
(C. Wilde).
