182 ZOSTEROPS EURYCRICOTA. 



The Camaroons Olive White-eye inhabits Camaroons. 



Dr. Preuss discovered the type in the mountains at an 

 elevation of 950 metres on September 6, 1891. This is all I 

 know regarding the species, for the type appears to be the only 

 specimen yet procured.

Fischer's Green "White-eye inhabits Bast Africa. 



This species is known to me only by the description of the 

 type, a female procured by the late Dr. Fischer at the base 

 of the Maeru Mountains in Great Arusha on July 17, and 

 by a pair now in the British Museum, the types of my Z. per- 

 spicillata, obtained by Mr. Hunter on Kilimanjaro in August 

 at an elevation of 5,000 feet. 



Dr. Reichenow informs us that my Z. perspicillata is the 

 same as his Z. erycricotus, which I did not recognise from his 

 short description of that species. My descriptions are taken 

 from Mr. Hunter's specimens, in which the black lores are 

 scarcely visible.
