754 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
Crinifer zonurus (Riippell) 
Chizaerhis zonurus Riippell, N. Wirbelth., Vog., p. 9, pl. iv, 1835: Temba Province, Abyssinia. 
Male, Luvungi, 30 January 1927. 
This bird was collected by M. G. Babault who kindly presented it to the 
Expedition. 
The present species seems to be fairly common in the eastern Congo but 
Sclater (Syst. Avium Ethiopicarum, 1924, p. 195) does not include eastern 
Congoland in its range, although it has been taken by several collectors such as 
Grauer, Pauwels, Piscicelle, and Pilette, in the Ruanda, Urundi, the Ruzizi, and 
Semliki valleys, and on the west shore of Lake Tanganyika. Although very 
distinet from typical piscator, zonurus is closely related to it, as intermediates 
do occur, but the caudal bands are invariable. 
Coraciidae 
Coracias caudatus caudatus Linné 
Coracias caudatus Linné, Syst. Nat. 12th ed., i, p. 160, 1766: Angola. 
Male, Luvungi, 30 January 1927. 
This roller is a common bird in all the savannas of the southern Congo from 
Lake Tanganyika to the Kasai. It has been taken in the Ruzizi Valley by Pau- 
wels and by Kandt near Lake Kivu. Sclater (Syst. Avium Ethiop., 1924) does 
not include the Congo in its range. 
Eurystomus afer afer (Latham) 
Coracias afer Latham, Ind. Orn. i, 1, 172, 1790: Africa. 
Adult female and immature female, Bumba, 31 December 1926. 
I have identified these birds as typical afer because the adult has the entire 
undersurface and cheeks strongly washed with purplish-lilac, and the central 
upper tail-coverts are brownish. Sclater and Mackworth-Praed (Ibis, 1919, 
pp. 673-674) have reviewed the races of this species. I have examined all avail- 
able material and find their conclusions are supported by the series in the Mu- 
seum of Comparative Zodlogy, as far as the material goes. 
Alcedinidae 
Ispidina picta picta (Boddaert) 
Todus pictus Boddaert, Tabl. Pl. Enlum., p. 49, 1783: St. Louis, Senegal. 
Female, Bumba, 30 December 1926. 
Male, Bumba, 2 January 1927. 
The female has a larger bill than the male. Except for the fact that the male 
has the middle of the abdomen almost whitish these birds agree with others from 
Uganda, Kenya Colony, and Cameroon, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 
Corythornis leucogaster leopoldi (Dubois) 
Ipsidina leopoldi Dubois, Ann. Mus. Congo, fase. i, p. 10, pl. 6, fig. i, 1905: Lake Leopold, Middle 
Congo. 
Male, Bumba, 2 January 1927.
