SOME ACCOUNT OF THE GROUND HORNBILL,
OR BROM-VOGEL (BUCORAX CAFER).
By W.L. Sclater, M.A., F.Z.S.
This interesting bird belongs to a genus confined to Africa, and containing only two species—one found in West and Northeast Africa, distinguished by possessing a conspicuous and
abruptly truncate casque on the bill at the base; the other, our present bird, which has no casque, as can be well seen by the figure here given.
