ZOSTBROPID^. 



149. Zosterops jacksoni Neuman. 



Zosterops jacksoni, Orn. Monatsb., p. 23, 1999. [Mau. 

 Naivasha, August 10 ; El Bolossa swamp, September 1. "Ins 

 hazel, bill black, feet ash gray." 



150. Zosterops kikuyensis Sharpe. 



Zosterops kikuyensis Sharpe, Ibis, p. 444, 1891. [Kikuyu Forest.] 



Kiangop Mountain, alt. 10,000 feet, October 26. "Irides brown. 



bill black, feet blue gray." This specimen differs from the preceding 



species in the greater extent of yellow on the forehead, the white eye 



ring, and the distinctly narrower bill. The two seem to be quite 



distinct. 



NEOTARINIIDuE. 



151. Drepanorhynchus reichenowi Fischer. 



Drepanorhynchus reichenowi Fischer, J. f. O., p. 56, 1884. [Naiwascha-aee.] 

 Naivasha, July 28; El Bolossa swamp, September 14. "Irides 

 hazel, bill and feet black." One specimen shows green reflections on 

 the back predominating over the copper; none are fully adult, the 

 head and back being to a considerable extent dull black. 



152. Nectarinia pulohella (Linn.). 



Certhin pulcheUa Linn., S. N., I, p. 187, 1766. [Senegal.] 

 El Bolossa swamp, September 6. "Irides hazel, bill and feet black." 



153. Neotarinia kilimensis Shelley. 



Nedarinin kilimensis Shelley, P. Z. S., p. .555, 1884. [KiUmanjaro.] 

 Fort Hall, May 31 to July 11; Naivasha, August 6 and 21; Pesi 

 swamp, October 5. "Irides dark hazel, bill and feet black." The 

 females or young are much yellower above and below than A^. tacazze. 

 One of the July specimens is molting. 



154. Nectarinia tacazze "Stanley" Shelley. 



Nectarinia tacazze Stanley, Shelley, Mon. Nect., p. 19, PI. 7, 1877. 

 El Bolossa swamp, September 5 and 6. 'Trides hazel, 1)111 and feet 

 black." I fail to distinguish N. jacksoni Neumann. Molting .indi- 

 viduals show that the juvenal plumage is mouse gray like the adult 

 female, except that the center of the abodmen is yellowish. The adult 

 plumage of the male is acquired in September. 



155. Nectarinia famosa cupreoniteus (Shelley). 



Nectarinia cupreoniteus Slielley, Mon. Nect., p. 17, PI. 6, fig. 1, 1876. [Abys- 

 sinia.] 

 El Bolossa swamp, September 5. "Irides hazel, bill and feet black.' »
