E. flavocincta has a white throit and greenish head, and 

 is very closely allied to E. w^^fcc/a of Alexander (Ibis, 1900, 

 p. 113) ; but the latter has the fore-neck very bright yellow, 

 not greenish on the sides, and the yellow extends to the lower 

 throat, leaving only the chin and upper throat white. It is 

 not E. viridiceps (Hawker), which is duller green above, has 

 white tips and edges to the outer tail-feathers, and the 

 crojD-patch pale greenish yellow. 



Dr. Reichenow has described Euprinodes florisuga from a 

 MS. name [Sylvia florisuga) of Lichtenstein in the Berlin 

 Museum. This is undoubtedly Alexander's E. neglecta, 

 which thus becomes a synonym of E. florisuga (Reichen. 

 J. f. O. 1898, p. 314, ex Licht.).— R. B. S.]
