 author. 



Cyanomitra obscura, subsp. ? 



[Chr. coll.] I Mt. Baginzi, Mch. E.G. 



This Sunbird has given us some trouble. It apparently 

 belongs to the group without metallic colouring of which 

 C. obscura and C. oUvacea are the best-known forms. 

 Neumann and Zedlitz recognize several races, and this 

 single bird does not seem to fit into any of them. It agrees 

 most nearly with the description of Neumann^s C. 0. ney- 

 lecta (J. f. O. 1900, p. 297), from Kibwesi, in British 

 E. Africa; this is paler than the West African C. 0. obscura 

 and the Abyssinian C. 0. ragazzii, but we hesitate to identify 

 it with this form, as we have found no examples of it in 

 the Museum and the locality does not fit in with the 

 identification.
