[Several sunbirds inhabiting the coast line and small islands are much affected 

 by, apparently, the damp salt air and increased sunlight : such are the forms of Leptoco- 

 ma brasiliana ($), />. asiatica (9) and L. jiignlaris. They bleach to a kind of hair- 

 brown above and lose most of the yellow of the underparts. It is practically impossible 

 to include birds in this condition in a simple key] .
