in upper regions." Mr. H. C. V. Hunter likewise met with 

 the species on Kilimanjaro between 5,000 and 6,000 feet, and 

 procured a specimen in imperfect plumage at the Useri river 

 in July. Mr. Neumann met with the species in the Mau forest, 

 Mr. J. F. Jackson collected two full plumaged males in 

 Kikuyu in September, and at Sotik in October, and Mr. 

 Ansorge shot an adult male in December at the Subugo forest 

 in the Uganda Protectorate.

Stuhlmann's Double- collared Sunbird inhabits Central 

 Africa. This rather vague locality is the only one given for 

 the type which was forwarded to Berlin in Emin and Stuhl- 

 mann's collection. I presume this species, if not the type, is 

 referred to from the Monbuttu country by Emin as C. erikssoni. 



Nothing further is known, I believe, of this species, and 

 as it was not entered in Dr. Reichenow's work on the avifauna 

 of German East Africa, I omitted it in my " List of African 

 Birds " presuming that it was not a good species, but at my 

 request Dr. Reichenow has very kindly sent the character I 

 have used for it in my key to the species of the genus Cinnyris. 

 The original description of the type is as follows : " Cinnyris 

 afra simillima, sed rostro breviore, fascia? pectoralis colore 

 rubro obscuriore, abdomine olivacenti-brunneo distinguenda. 

 A Cinnyris erikssoni rostro longiore et fascia pectorali rubro 

 angustiore diversa. L. t. ca. 130-140; a. im. 64; c. 60; r. 24; 

 t. 19 mm."
