881. Chalcostetiia pectoealis.— Maklot's Sun-bird.

897. Cinnyris pectoralis. — The Yellow-breasted Sun-bird. 



Very common everywhere. Breeds during January and February. Nest

 all over, but chiefly with a cap at the large end, with greenish-grey. 



903. Anthothreptrs malaccensis. — The Brown-throated Sun-bird. 



The commonest sun-bird on the island ; it chiefly frequents cocoanut groves 

 where it may be seen searching for food amongst the leaves and cocoanuts ; 

 probably it builds its nest high up in these same trees, which may account for 

 my not having found one. 



912. Dictum cruentatum. — The Scarlet-backed Flower-pecker. 

 Somewhat scarce ; I usually found it feeding in the vermilion blossoms of a 



certain tree (name unknown to me) which is much grown in gardens and 

 along the roads.'
