Coua hartlauhi is described as a new species from Madagascar resembling 
C. coqucreli (Zool. Rec. iv. p. 89), of which it may be only a local race, but 
rather smaller, and with a shorter tail and stouter bill. It belongs to the 
group Serkomm. A. Grandidier, R. Z. 18G9, p. 339.

Caprimidgus inornatus from the Bogos country is a species hitherto imde- 
scribed and almost deserving generic separation. It is distinguished by its 
peculiar pale greyish-red colouring and the almost entire absence of any 
white or rusty marks on the neck, throat, and ears. M. T. v. Heuglin, Orn. 
Nordost-Afr. i. pp. 129-130 *.

Ci/psehis caffe?' oricmtalis from East Africa is described as a variety of the 
South-African C. caffe?', being smaller and with much less white on the 
throat. M. T. v. Heuglin, Orn. Nordost-Afr. i. pp. 143, 144.

Do?'icha ly?'ura is a new species from the Bahamas, about the size of D. 
eveli?ue, but with a distinctly-forked tail, the outer feathers of which are 
much longer, narrower, and curved outward at the tip, the remainder gra- 
duating towards the middle ones, which are very short. J. Gould, Ann. & 
Mag. N. II. 4th ser. iv. pp. Ill, 112. 
Leshia o?'to?ii is described as a new species from Eucador, of the same form 
and dimensions as L. glyceria, Bp., but with the outer rectrices intennediate in 
width between those of that species and of L. a??ia?'yllis. It should be placed 
perhaps with the former in a new genus. G. N. Lawrence, Ann. Lyc. N. H. 
New York, 1869, pp. 269, 270. 
Oreowym/?/misanewgenus, allied both to Oxypogon and Wiamp}io?nicrum, 
of which the characters are : — Bill longer than the head, stout, and with a 
somewhat downward curvature ; wings large and sickle-shaped ', tail ample

* Tlie author’s description was published certainly not later than August 
1869 ; but having had access, as has been mentioned above, to the proof- 
sheets of Drs. Finsch and Hartlaub’s ^ Vogel Ost-Afrikas,’ which was not 
published till 1870, he is enabled to quote the page of that work in which this 
species is also described.
