 rare.

This is, after all, I think, the rarest of the Sun-birds to 

 be found here. During our stay here and at the lower camp 

 we have only seen about half a dozen specimens. 



142. Cinnyris regius.

H. 800. S ad. Ruwenzori, Feb. 11, 1902. The first 

 example seen up to this date. 



H. 834, 835. $ ad. Ruwenzori, Feb. 13, 1902. This is 

 undoubtedly the rarest Sun-bird that we have come across 

 bere. When we got to the higher altitudes on the 16th it 

 was by far the commonest species.

H. 867, 868. tf ad.; 869. ? ad. Ruwenzori, Feb. 18, 

 1902. These birds I believed at first to be rather scarce, but 

 higher up the mountain, on a long day's tramp, they were 

 positively the only Sun-birds that I saw, and were very 

 plentiful.
