[Eeceived June 6, 1889.] 

 (Plates XL. & XLI.) 



Mr. Hunter, durino; 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 

 year. 



This collection he has presented to the British Museum, where, 

 through the kindness of Dr. Giiiither, I have been enabled to examine 

 the contents. It consists of examples of 95 species, of which I have 

 described seven as new : — Pacliyprora mixta, XenocicMa nif/riceps, 

 Xenocichla placida, Alcippe hilimensis, Cisticola hunteri, Cinmjris 

 hunteri, arid Zosterops perspicillata. 



Besides these, amongst many other rarities the British Museum 

 acquires the second known specimens of Hapaloderma vittatum and 

 Phiarochroa hi/pospodia, and adds to its stores examples of Tarsiger 

 orientalis, Nectarinia melanogastra, and of the fully adult male of 

 Pholidavges fischeri, of which the female only was known.
