 According to the author, the only two Sun-birds met with on the island are Cinnyris hart- 

 laubi (Verr.) and Anthreptes fraseri ; but the latter was wrongly determined, and should be 

 Cinnyris obsciwus (Jard.).

 Cinnyris pectoralis is here recorded from the Andaman Islands. This being the only 



instance known of its capture on this group, I am led to the belief that it should be referred to 

 C. andamanicus ; for Mr. Davison (Str. F. 1874, p. 197) expresses as his opinion that C. pectoralis 

 is not to be found on the Andaman Islands. 



Araclmothera longirostra is said to have been seen, but not procured, in these islands; and 

 as I know of no instance of its capture there, the evidence is not conclusive ; and no mention is 

 made of it by Mr. Hume in his article on the birds of the islands of the Bay of Bengal (Str. F. 

 1874) ; so I think that it should not be admitted into the avifauna of the Andaman Islands.
