832 BIRDS OF SOUTH AFRICA. 
specimen of Dr. Bradshaw’s in British the Museum, labelled 
‘* Zambesi,” which has metallic upper tail-coverts, like C. amethy- 
stinus. Dr. Bradshaw’s skins came to the Museum without 
any localities attached to them, and were all said to have come 
from the Zambesi; but, as Dr. Bradshaw informed us, he 
collected all over the Matabele and Makalaka countries, and the 
specimen in question doubtless came from one of the latter places. 
Mr. Ayres collected four adult male specimens on the Umvyuli River, 
in Mashoona Land, in September. 
By an oversight Dr. Gadow has given Dr. Bradshaw’s example from 
the Zambesi as the type of C. kirki: it should have been Sir John 
Kirk’s specimen which was the type.

The only Sunbird met with on the northern border; summer visitor 
and very common on the Orange River (Bradshaw). 
“ Nylefield,” given by Dr. Gadow as a locality for this species, is the 
name of the collector, not of the place.

Met with by Senor Anchieta at Biballa, in Mossamedes. 
This small Sunbird comes nearest to CO. leucogaster (C. talatala, Smith) 
of all the South African species, but has the abdomen and thighs 
buff. It is a West African bird.

This species is one of Senor Anchieta’s discoveries in Benguela. He 
met with it near Caconda, where it was very common. 
It is closely allied to C. leucogaster, but is to be recognized by its 
scarlet and yellow pectoral tufts. It has a red border also to the 
violet-blue feathers on the upper breast. Wing, 2°2 inches.
