58 Mr. H. T. Usslier on the 



Accra. I have not seen it in Fantecj though I -was told by 

 native collectors that it was not rare. 



74. Stiphrornis euythrothorax (Temm.) : Sharpe, p. 3.2. 

 Only from Denkera. 



75. Stiphrornis b.4diceps (Fras.) : Sharpc, p. 32. 



Not uncommon on the large trees near Ahrobonko, and 

 also met with in the interior of Fantee. It is a pretty, 

 active little bird, living on seeds and berries, and is very 

 nimble in its movements. It is frequently seen in company 

 with Sunbirds and other birds, and is altogether a sociable 

 little creature. 



76. Camaroptera brevicaudata (Riipp.) : Sharjie, p. 33. 

 Obtained by Aubinn on the Volta during the expedition of 



1870. 



77. Nectarinia CYANOLiEMA, Jard. : Sharpe, p. 37. 



Not veiy common in Fantee ; but it is found occasionally in 

 the vicinity of Cape-Coast Castle. 



78. Nectarinia eeichenbachii, Hartl. : Sharpe, p. 37. 



I have never observed this curious little Sunbird elsewhere 

 than on the river Volta, where I shot two specimens. They fre- 

 quented low shrubs near the river-bank, and, I should fancy, 

 were tolerably plentiful. The habits of most of these Sun- 

 birds appear to be identical ; and their flight and method of 

 feeding offered nothing noteworthy to the collector. 



79. Nectarinia verticalis, Reich. : Sharpe, p. 37. 



This Sunbird is not very common. I have shot it in com- 

 pany with N. cjjanocephala. Occasionally skins have been 

 brought from the interior ; and there is no reason to doubt 

 that its habitat extends over the whole of Fantee. 



80. Nectarinia cyanocephala (Shaw) : Sharpe, p. 37. 

 Extremely common, especially in the vicinity of Cape Coast. 



I have already referred to this bird under the head of N. splen- 

 dida, which it resembles very much in its habits. 



81. Nectarinia adelberti, Gerv. : Sharpe, p. 37. 



This pretty Sunbird is not very common in Fantee, except
