Birds- from British Eu.st Africa. 497 



48. Nectarinia kilimensis. Kilimanjaro Bronze Suu- 

 bird. 



Nectorinin kilimensis Shelley. 



Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 



I found the Kilimanjaro Bronze Sunbird in most of the 

 localities we visited : at Naivasha it was common and four 

 males and two females were obtained. 



49. Nectarinia reichenowi. Reichenow's Sunbird. 

 Nectarinia reichenowi Shelley. 



Reichenow's Sunbird was obtained among the native 

 shambas near Kallima Tbeki : it was not at all uncommon 

 there in April, and appeared to be greatly attracted by a 

 purple flowering plant of the Pea tribe; none of the males 

 obtained were in full plumage. 



50. Nectarinia jacksoni. Jackson's Sunbird. 

 Nectarinia jacksoni Neumann. 



Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 



A pair of Jackson's Sunbirds were obtained at Naivasha 

 on March 4th, but 1 saw the species nowhere else. 



51. CiNNYitis MicROKHYNCHUs. East-Africaii Bifasciated 

 Sunbird. 



Cinnyris microrhynchus Shelley. 



Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 



This species was seen at Theki and specimens were shot 

 on the hill behind our camp, where they were constantlv 

 attracted by a species of aloe and would run up and down 

 its branches hunting for insects. I never saw the bird 

 feeding at any of the numerous flowering shrubs which 

 abounded at Theki, and upon which the other species of 

 Sunbirds were often seen. 



52. Cinnyris ^quatorialis. Scarlet-chested Sunbird. 

 Cinnyris ceqiiatorialis Reichen. 



We found the Scarlet-chested Sunbird fairly distributed 

 wherever we went.
