 sliot in May and June.

Chalcomitra angolensis.

Two males in full plumage, collected in Uganda, do not 

 differ from C. angolensis. These birds are found on the 

 outskirts of forest and in the scrub-country. Young birds 

 were seen in January and June.

Birds from Uganda agree perfectly with those from Shoa 

 and north-eastern Africa. British East African specimens 

 from Kikuyu are greener above and more olive on the 

 underside ; they have been named C. o. neglecta. 



Typical C. obscura obscura, from Fernando Po, are pale 

 birds. 



This Sun-bird is a forest-species, keeping to the tops of 

 tall trees. Breeding birds were shot in June and February, 

 and young taken in June. 



Localities. Kyetema, Mabira, Kasala, Mubango, and 

 Sezibwa Forests, in Uganda ; Kikuyu Forest and Kyambu, 

 in British East Africa.
