The author recognizes thirty-three species of Sun-birds as found in AVest Africa. 



No. 124. Nectarinia amethystina (Shaw). The locality Senegal, fide Swainson, for this 

 species is incorrect. 



No. 129. J¥. erythrothorax (Vieill.). He searched in vain for the type in the Paris Museum. 



No. 131. N. bifasciata (Shaw). The type of this species was collected by Perrein at Malimba ; 

 so it should only be applied to the West-African bird ; and 



No. 133. N.jardinei, Verr., sp. n., should be added as a synonym.

 Paris Museum.
