been employed by Dr. Hartlaub for a West-African species. This employment of the name, 

 Dr. Hartlaub has informed me, was a misprint for N. tephrolcema ; but Count Salvadori is, I 

 consider, quite justified in not again using that name, and I have therefore adopted his later 

 title for this species. 



It is, I believe, the only member of this group of Sun-birds which is found in the Kei 

 Islands, and is therefore included by Von Rosenberg and Finsch in the above references under 

 the title of aspasia. 



The specimens which I have here described and figured are two of Count Salvadori's types. 

 From the plumage of the male in moult it would appear that the adult female must be very like 

 that of C. aspasice.
