We obtained two specimens of this rare species on our 

 way up the mountain. They were shot in company with 

 several Sun-birds (Cinnyris preussi) . This elegant little Tree- 

 Warbler seems to revel in the misty surroundings of the 

 mountain, travelling with dancing flight from one tall tree 

 to another. 



Named after Mrs. Boyd Alexander.
