1S95.] PBOir WESTERN SOMALI-LAND. 475 



According to Heuglin, this Sun-bird is found in the country 

 bordering the Eed Sea, extending to the mountains near Suakin, 

 and to those south of the Somali coast. It is found from the sea- 

 coast up to 3000 and 4000 feet, but was not seen in the interior of 

 Abyssinia ; it is not rare in Takah. Heuglin thinks that Harris's 

 specimens, said to have been procured in Shoa, must really have 

 been obtained on the Adail coast ; but Antinori states that it is 

 common during the whole year in the low as well as the high 

 " Kolla."

This Sun-bird was discovered by Mr. Hunter on the Oseri River 

 in the Kilima-njaro district. Mr. Jackson met with it on the Voi 

 River in Teita in December. 



Count Salvadori has recently recorded the species from the 

 Goolis Mountains, where, however, Mr. Lort Phillips has not yet 

 found it.

These specimens agree with others from Equatorial Africa 

 collected by Emin Pasha. A. orientalis seems to me always to be 

 distinguishable by the bright metallic-green band across the lower 

 back, this band being absent in A. longuemarii. 



The species obtained by Heuglin on the Wa River in April 

 was doubtless A. orientalis, and he also met with it in winter 

 plumage in January. Antinori procured the same bird in the 

 Djur and Dor districts. It is certainly the species procured by 

 Mr. Jackson from the Teita district, and I have little doubt that 

 it is also the form recorded from so many places in Eastern Africa 

 by Dr. Reichenow.
