45. CiNNYRis AMETHYSTiNus. BLick Suiibir J. (Plate VIII.). 

 Fairly common everywhere. 



4G. CiNNYRis YERREAUXI. Mouso-coloured Smi])ir(l. 

 Common in the coast bush, but not easy to procure, as it 

 is always on the moYC. 



47. CiNNYRis OLIVACEUS. Olive-colourccl Sunbird. 



This and the preceding species, being dull-coloured, are 

 liable to be overlooked, as unless seen close by they will 

 generally be mistaken for the females of other more bril- 

 liantly plumaged Sunbirds. 



I have lately found this species fairly common at Port 

 St. Johns. The males have a distinct wash of orange on the 

 throat and upper breast, not mentioned in Stark and Sclater, 

 and the forehead and front of crown are slightly iridescent. 

 They are also a little larger than the measurements given

50. Parus NIGER. Black Tit. 



Not uncommon, especially at Flagstaff. 



51. Lanius collaris. Fiscal Shrike. 



Common at Bizana, but scarce at Lusikisiki and Flagstaff.
