H. Th. von Heuglin on a new African Zosterops. 359 
Upper CafFraria (Wahlb.). Abyssinia (Galinier et Ferret). 
There can be but little doubt about the identity of the North¬ 
eastern and the South-African bird. Sundevall himself seems 
to believe in it, but not feeling* quite sure about the meaning 
of Guerin’s expression “ pulveris colore,” prefers giving a new 
name to the Caffrarian Zosterops.
