The following fresh titles are employed ; but as there are no descriptions, it is only by 

 examination of the actual specimens that they can be positively identified. They are 



Arachnothera liturata, Nectarinia cormorensis, N saginata, Anthreptes eguicauda, A. ex- 

 pectatus. 



I have not been able to examine the types ; and although I have little doubt that the names 

 are of no real importance, it would be interesting to see them definitely determined.
