272 A MONOGRAPH OF THE CINNYRID^E 



Nomenclature, II.) expressed our concurrence in the use 

 of the term " brasilianus" 



pi. 9. Cinnyris amethystinus. — 



pi. 10. Promerops cafer which can scarcely he included in 

 the Cinnyridce. 



Part II appeared 29th November 1876. 



— Cinnyris kirkii. — A new species founded upon the East 

 African form of C. amethystinus. It is very close to that 

 species, but smaller, and the upper tail-coverts are brownish- 

 black like the back, with no portion of them metallic. 



— iETHOPYGA dabryi which was figured in the first part is 



here described. It is quite refreshing to find the name 



correctly spelt, English authors having rung almost every 



possible kakographical change on it, dabrii, debrii, abrii, &c. 



We found this species not itncommon at Mooleyit in the 



Central Tenasserim Hills and shall have some remarks to make 



about it, when dealing with the avifauna of that province. 



pi. 1. Cinnyris verreanxi. — Both sexes possess bright pectoral 



tufts. The author places this bird in his " sub-metallic 



group" which appears to be nearly equivalent to Adelinus, 



Bonaparte. 



Captain Shelley gives some original notes upon this rare 



and very local species. 



pi. 2. Cinnyris olivaceus. — This species is here well figured 



for the first time. 

 The author places it in his a Olive group," which is nearly 



represented by Elceocerthia, Reichb. He considers its nearest 



ally Anihreptes hypogrammica ; this may be so, but both this 



species and obscums have always reminded us most of the 



Asiatic Arachnotherce. 



— Nectarinia cupreonitens. — The new species from North-East 

 Africa and Senegal already referred to. The type is a male 

 in the British Museum from Abyssinia. 



pi. 3. Cinnyris notatus. — 



pi. 4. Cinnyris superbus. — 



There are some original notes upon this species, as it was 



met with by the author " in the lofty forests of the Aguapiui 



mountains." 



pi. 5. Cinnyris johannce. — The adult male and female are here 

 well figured for the first time. 

 To the synonomy of this species is added Nectarinia fasciata, 



Jard. and Fraser. 



From Cinnyris superbus, u the female is distinguished by the 



striped breast, and by the under tail-coverts not being orange- 

 yellow."
