Halcyon chelicutensis (Stanl.). 
6 . Transvaal, July 13th, 1873. 
Beak and legs red; iris dark hazel. 
Halcyon cyanoleuca (V.). 
d, $. Limpopo, November 1873. 
Upper mandible red, lower mandible black; legs black, 
inside of foot reddish; iris dark hazel. 
Yery common during our journey down in the summer, 
but not seen in the winter. It is rather a shy bird, and con¬ 
tinually utters a monotonous whistle. I did not meet with 
this species, except on the Limpopo, where these birds are 
most conspicuous objects when on the wing. 
Toccus NASUTUS (L.). 
a, s ad. Limpopo, November 12, 1873. 
Beak black, with a white streak on upper mandible; legs 
dark olive brown; iris dark hazel. 
b , $ juv. Bamangwato, August 7th, 1873. 
Beak white above, black below, yellowish red at the tip of 
both mandibles; legs black; iris reddish brown. 
Toccus ERYTHRORHYNCHUS (Gm.).

Beak red; legs black ; iris light yellow. 
Toccus FLAVIROSTRIS (Rupp.) . 
a, b, S $ • Transvaal, July 7th, 1873. 
Beak yellow; legs black; iris yellowish white. 
Hornbills were very common from the north of the Trans¬ 
vaal through the Bamangwato country. All the three species 
above mentioned were shot at random from among the num¬ 
bers noticed; and I should say they were all equally plentiful. 
My experience agrees with Andersson^s excellent account of 
these Hornbills (B. Dam. Ld. p. 207, et seq.). 
Upupa minor, Gm. 
$. Transvaal, July 6th, 1873. 
Beak and legs black ; iris dark hazel. 
Common in the bush country north of Pretoria; but I do 
not remember seeing it further than Bamangwato. It is
