the eyCj I fully expected to find this new Zosterops to be 

 very close to Z. eurycr6cotus (Fischer & Reichen. Zeitschr. i. 

 p. 337) . The type of the latter species is in the Hamburg 

 Museum, where I recently examined it; it is similar in 

 general appearance, but is much darker below, so as to show 

 less yellow on the throat and breast ; but it chiefly differs in 

 its blackish forehead and in having the fore part of the crown 

 greenish, not yellow. With regard to Z. virens, which Z. ki- 

 kuyuensis greatly resembles, the yellow forehead of the latter 

 forms a very recognizable character.
