John Gould, F.R.S. Compiled by Frederick Herschel Waterhouse, A.L.S.,

traveller Bohm) a new Touracoo, Musophaga boehmi , allied to 
M. rossce , from the country beyond Lake Tanganyika. Dr.

New Zealand, and refers it to the species which he has called 
N. hochstetteri, believing that the bird from the North Island,
