The title Nectarinia talatala, Smith, by which this species is more generally known, must 

 be set aside for the very appropriate one of Cinnyris leucogaster, Vieill. ; for I have examined 

 Vieillot's type in the Paris Museum ; it is a fine adult male in good preservation, and there can 

 be no doubt as to its belonging to this species, which I figured and described under the title of 

 Cinnyris talatala.

Professor Barboza du Bocage records this species from Biballa and Caconda, thus extending 

 it to the interior of Benguela.

Cinnyris affinis, Cab. J. f. O. 1878, p. 227. 



According to Dr. Cabanis (I. c), Drs. Hildebrand and Von Kalckreuth found this species 

 plentiful at Ndi, in the Taita country. This is a most interesting new locality, as the species 

 was not previously known to extend beyond the limits of the North-east African subregion.

Nectarinia fazoglensis, Finsch in Heugl. Orn. N.O.-Afr. App. p. lxx. 



I overlooked the description by Dr. Finsch in Heuglin's Appendix ; hence my Cinnyris 



heuglini falls to the ground.
