BuCEROTIDiE. 
JBuceros hastatus, and several others of tlie genus are remarked upon by 
T. von Heuglin^ J. f. 0. 1864^ pp. 268-271. 
Buceros cavatus, B. albirostris, B. pusuran, and B. nipalensis, with Toccus 
tickelK, of which last a figure (pi. iii.) is given, form the subject of a paper by 
Lieut.-Col. S. R. Tickell. Ibis, 1864, pp. 173-182. 
Buceros crisiatus, its habits described. J. Kirk, Ibis, 1864, p. 326. 
Calao papuensis^ from New Guinea generally, and its islands to Waigiou and 
Aru, is described as a new species, certainly distinct from C. ruJicolUs of the 
Moluccas, with which it has hitherto been confounded. The New Guinea 
species always has the head and neck equally yellowish -brown, whereas in 
the Moluccan bird the yellow passes more into white. The hind-head and 
neck are, however, dark chestnut-brown. Q. von Rosenberg, J. f. O. 1864, 
p. 117. 
Musophagid^. 
Turacus livhigstonii, sp. n., approaching T. aJhocristatus in general appear- 
ance, but differing in the front feathers of the crest being larger and ending 
in a prolonged point, brought by Mr. C. Livingstone from the Manganja 
Highlands of East Africa. G. R. Gray, P. Z. S. 1864, p. 44 ; Ann. & Mag. 
N. H. ser. 3. vol. xiv. p. 240 ; J. Kirk, Ibis, 1864, pp. 328, 329. 
CUCULIDA5. 
ScHLEGEL, H. Museum d^Histoire Naturelle des Pays-Bas. 
5*”° Livraison. Cucult. Leyde : 1864. Royal 8vo. pp. 85. 
The author classes among the Cuculi the genera Indicator ^ 
Cuculus (including as subgenera Cuculus proper, EudynamiSj 
CacomantiSj Chrysococcyx, and ProdoHscus) , Scythrops, Lcpto- 
somus, CoccyzuSy Geococcyxy Coccystes, Cua, Crotophagay Phoeni- 
cophaeSy PiayOy NeommphuSy CentropuSy Musophagay ColiuSy and 
Opisthocomus. Of these he enumerates 122 species as being re- 
presented by 842 specimens in the Museum at Leyden. Each 
species, together with its varieties or local races, which by many 
naturalists would be deemed good species, is described, and the 
origin of the different specimens serving to illustrate it in the 
Museum is, so far as known, carefully given. It would be im- 
possible for us, with the space at our command, to go through 
the various groups in detail ; this however is to be regretted the 
less, as the work is one which is indispensable to all students of 
Ornithology. No species are described as new. 
Chrysococcyx schomhurgJd, sp. n., nearly allied to C. hodgsoni and C. xantho- 
rhynchuSy sent from Siam by Sir R. Schomburgk. J. Gould, P. Z. S. 1864, 
p. 73. 
Cuculus Uhanoticus is described as a new species from Palestine, allied to C. 
microptei'us and C. gularis, but still more to C. canoruSy if indeed it be not 
merely an hepatic variety of the last. H. B. Tristram, P. Z. S. 1864, p. 432. 
Cuculus canorus (adult and immature) is figured. J. Gould, B. Qrt. Br, 
part V.
