schensis. 



Cinnyris chloropygia bineschensis Neumann, Orn. MonaUher. 1903, p. 185 (" Binescho westlich von 

 Kaffa am Quellgebiet des Gelo, Sobatsystem "). 



Type : (J ad., Village Detchabasa, Binesho, 22. iy. 1901. Oscar Neumann 

 leg. No. 1,153. 



The differences stated by the author are quite conspicuous, though only one 

 specimen was obtained. 



346. Cinnyris guttuialis inaestimata Hart. = Cinnyris senegalensis inaestimata. 



Cinnyris guUuralis inaestimata Hartert, Ansorge's Under the African Sun, p. 351 (" East Africa." 

 Sic !). 



Tj^e : (J ad., Dar-es-Salaam, November 1895. 



This form is quite distinct from C. sen. gutturalis of South Africa, as well as 

 from C. sen. saturatior Rchw. of SouthrWestem Africa, being considerably 

 smaller than both. 



347. Cinnyris aJinae vulcanorum Hartert subsp. nov. 



(Ex Neumann MS. in Museo Tring.) 



Type : 3* ad., " Vorberge der westlichen Kivu-Vulkane, im Urwald, 2,400 m.^ 

 26.viii.1907." Rud. Grauer leg. No. 1,107. 



Grauer collected 14 adult males, 3 females, and 3 young on the western 

 Kivu Volcanoes and Karissimbi, as well as west of Baraka. These differ from 

 Cinnyris alinae alinae of Mt. Ruwenzori (Ronssoro) in having the crown not 

 purplish blue, merging into green on the nape, but more or less green all over, 

 a few specimens only approaching C. alinae alinae. 



The breast is also of a darker, more blackish brown, thus more in contrast 

 with the lower abdomen. The females differ in lacking the lemon-yellow pectoral 

 tufts, which are only indicated by a few yellowish white elongated feathers, 

 besides which they are smaller and paler on the abdomen. 



I have adopted the name proposed in MS. in the Tring Museum and the type 

 selected by Professor Neumann, who failed to publish the name and description.
