A very important paper, the details being carefully and, as a rule, accurately worked out ; 

 but there appears to have been no attempt at classification. He excludes Arachnothera. 

 The family is divided into six genera containing thirty-nine species.

A useful work, on account of the localities being all well authenticated. 



The family Nectariniidse here contains four genera. Two of these, the first and the last

 Nectarinia and Anthreptes. Under Nectarinia he includes forty-four species.
