ZOSTEROPS SENEGALENSIS. 175 



is another specimen from the Nyam-Nyam country, also 

 obtained in November by Bohndorff at Monderick, which is in 

 the British Museum, along with one labelled " Albert Edward 

 Nyanza (Scott Elliott)" and another " Fadjulli, 3 10. 5. 81 

 (Emin)." Emin has besides collected sjoecimens to the east 

 of Lake Tanjanyika at Tabora and Mpapwa. According to 

 Dr. S. T. Pruen, at Kakoma in the Usagara country the natives 

 call it " Vimlyelye." The late Dr. Fischer met with the 

 species in Arusha, Ussure, Kipini, Ishara and Kau, and found 

 it plentiful, during his explorations through Masailand, in the 

 high trees, hunting for insects, in pairs or groups up to ten in 

 number. Dr. Hildebrandt found them in the mountains of 

 Ndi in the Teita country around the flowering acacia bushes 

 in company with colonies of Sunbirds. Two of his specimens 

 are in British Museum, which also contains the following : — 

 " Lamu (Kirk)," " Manda Is. (Jackson)," " Machako's, <?, ?, 

 8. 96 (Hinde)." In Somali, specimens have been collected 

 at Sillu in August by Dr. A. Donaldson Smith, and Don 

 Eugento del Principe Ruspoli also met with the species in this 

 country. 



Towards Victoria Nyanza Mr. Jackson has procured ex- 

 amples at Makarungu, Mr. W. J. Ansorge a fine series from 

 Masindi and Fajao in Unyoro, and a specimen from Kiwalo- 

 goma in Uganda, in which country the species was also met 

 with by Piaggio, in what was in his time known as Mtesa's 

 country. 



According to Dr. Reichenow's views with regard to the 

 division of this species into subspecies, as I understand them, 

 his Z. flavilateralis ranges over E. Africa generally east of 

 Lake Tanjanyika and Uganda, and his Z. stuhlmanni and 

 Z. superciliosa reign jointly over Emin's "happy hunting 

 ground" of the Upper White Nile district of Central Africa, 

 where Dr. Stuhlmann and Emin have met with these forms on
