Adults. Similar to A. collaris but differing in the greater series of wing- 

 coverts and the quills being edged with olive yellow instead of metallic 

 greenish gold. 



The Tropical Collared-Sunbird ranges from the Gambia to 

 Loanda in Angola in West Africa, and from the Zambesi 

 through Central and East Africa to Lado on the White Nile 

 and the Equator on the coast. 



The Bremen Museum contains specimens from the Gambia, 

 the British Museum one from Casamanse. Lieut. Bulger 

 found the species inhabiting Bulama Island, one of the Bessagos 

 group. Specimens have been collected by Demery along the 

 Sulyrnah river which runs into the ocean at Sierra Leone, and 

 Biittikofer found the species abundant in Liberia. 



From the Gold Coast there are two dozen specimens in the 

 British Museum, including one labelled Ashantee and another 

 Volta river, but I do not find the species recorded from Togo- 

 land, and from Lagos it is known to me by a single specimen 

 in the Stuttgart Museum. Forbes collected specimens in the 

 forest region of the lower Niger at Onitsa. 



The type of the species was procured by Fraser on 

 Fernando Po. In Camaroons these Sunbirds have been met 

 with by Mr. Crossley, Dr. Reichenow, Dr. Preuss and Mr. 

 Sjostedt, and are well represented in that woodland district.
