specimens, the outermost primary is twice as long, and the 

 wings and tail are more yellowish green. 



This Sun-bird is, in our opinion, a small northern race 

 of A. fraseri, and ranges from Liberia to the Gaboon, where 

 it meets and overlaps the range of the southern race, 

 A. fraseri.

This species has not been obtained previously in the 

 Colony nor in the Hinterland. It is curious that Capt. Giffard 

 did not meet with it at Gambaga in 1898. The bird is, 

 however, by no means common; it is generally to be found 

 in pairs, searching quietly for insects about the new buds of 

 the trees.
