The general golden yellow colour of this species distinguishes it 

 from Z. brunneicauda, us also does the brown of the vertex and 

 occiput. In b (marked "$?") this hitter characteristic is not so 

 marked.

Iris brown ; bill black ; feet and tarsus slate. Sexes alike. 

 Length of wing 7"3-7*7 centims. 



Common round Bima, where they fed on the flowers of the 

 Bombax and other trees. Their habits resemble those of the genus 

 Cinnyris. 



27. Stigmatops, sp. 



At Bima and Sumbawa two quite young birds of the genus 

 Stigmatops were obtained that I hesitate to refer to any particular 

 species. The head is oUve ; the chin, cheeks, upper throat, and ear- 

 coverts are washed with yellow, as are also the abdomen and under 

 tail-coverts; ami the tail is more brightly tinged with greenish yellow 

 than is the case in S. ocularis. "Whether it is the young of the latter 

 it is difficult to saj', but it agrees closely with the description of the 

 adult S. chloris of Salvadori,
