in Eastern Africa. By Captain G. HE. Suetuey, F.Z.S. 
[Received June 6, 1889.] 
(Plates XL. & XLI.) 
Mr. Hunter, during a sporting-tour in Eastern Africa, ascended 
the slopes of Kilimanjaro mountain and made a fine collection of birds 
in that district during the months of June, July, and August of last 
ear. 
: This collection he has presented to the British Museum, where, 
through the kindness of Dr. Giinther, I have been enabled to examine 
the contents. It consists of examples of 95 species, of which I have 
described seven as new :—Pachyprora mixta, Xenocichla nigriceps, 
Xenoeichla placida, Alcippe kilimensis, Cisticola hunteri, Cinnyris 
hunteri, aud Zosterops perspicillata. 
Besides these, amongst many other rarities the British Museum 
acquires the second known specimens of Hapaloderma vittatum and 
Pinarochroa hypospodia, and adds to its stores examples of Tarsiger 
orientalis, Nectarinia melanogastra, and of the fully adult male of 
Pholidauges fischeri, of which the female only was known.
