H. Th. von Heuglin on a new African Zosterops. 359 



Upper Caffraria (Wahlb.). Abyssinia (Galinier et Ferret). 



There can be but little doubt about the identity of the North- 

 eastern and the South-African bird. Sundevall himself seems 

 to believe in it, but not feeling quite sure about the meaning 

 of Guerin's expi-ession "pulveris colore," prefers giving a new 

 name to the Caffrarian Zosterops.
