Anderson separates the western and more purple form of C. asiaticus under the new name 

 of Arachnechthra edeni. His type comes from Bhamo, in Burmah ; and he recognizes the 

 Tenasserim bird as identical. I only know of this form from his illustration of the adult 

 male and from his description, which appear to agree well with the A. intermedia, Hume, 

 a form which I consider cannot be admitted as distinct from Cinnyris asiaticus. 



In my original article I incorrectly attributed the title Cinnyris orientalis to Horsfield 

 instead of to Franklin.

In a recent collection sent to me by Dr. Kirk from the island of Grand Comoro there were
