Summary

[edit]
Description

tor the loan of which I am indebted to the kindness of Professor Peters of Berlin, the
original describer. The figures in the accompanying plate are also drawn from these
type- specimens, and, on comparing them with the figure of Halcyon albiventris, it will at once
be seen that Halcyon orientalis is quite distinct.
I have also before me a specimen from the Zambesi, kindly lent me by Lord Walden,
which seems to be an older bird than any of the specimens at Berlin. The colours in the
Zambesi bird are brighter, the black on the back and scapularies is of a deeper tint, and
the cheeks and sides of the neck are tinged with tawny red.
I must here express my sincere thanks to Professor Peters for his kindness in per-
mitting the type-specimens of this rare and interesting species to be sent to London for

the embellishment of my work.
Date 1868-71.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
