Mr. H. T. Ussher on the

Accra. I have not seen it in Fantee, though I was told by 
native collectors that it was not rare. 
74. Stiphrornis erythrothorax (Temm.): Sharpe, p. 32. 
Only from Denkera. 
75. Stiphrornis badiceps (Fras.): Sharpe, p. 32. 
Not uncommon on the large trees near Abrobonko, and 
also met with in the interior of Fantee. It is a pretty, 
active little bird, living on seeds and berries, and is very 
nimble in its movements. It is frequently seen in company 
with Sunbirds and other birds, and is altogether a sociable 
little creature. 
76. Camaroptera brevicaudata (Rupp.): Sharpe, p. 33. 
Obtained by Aubinn on the Yolta during the expedition of 
1870. 
77. Nectarinia cyanol^ema, Jard.: Sharpe, p. 37. 
Not very common in Fantee ; but it is found occasionally in 
the vicinity of Cape-Coast Castle. 
78. Nectarinia reichenbachii, Hartl.: Sharpe, p. 37. 
I have never observed this curious little Sunbird elsewhere 
than on the river Volta, where I shot two specimens. They fre¬ 
quented low shrubs near the river-bank, and, I should fancy, 
were tolerably plentiful. The habits of most of these Sun- 
birds appear to be identical; and their flight and method of 
feeding offered nothing noteworthy to the collector. 
79. Nectarinia verticalis, Reich.: Sharpe, p. 37. 
This Sunbird is not very common. I have shot it in com¬ 
pany with N. cyanocephala. Occasionally skins have been 
brought from the interior; and there is no reason to doubt 
that its habitat extends over the whole of Fantee. 
80. Nectarinia cyanocephala (Shaw): Sharpe, p. 37. 
Extremely common, especially in the vicinity of Cape Coast. 
I have already referred to this bird under the head of N. splen - 
dida, which it resembles very much in its habits. 
81. Nectarinia adelberti, Gerv.: Sharpe, p. 37. 
This pretty Sunbird is not very common in Fantee, except
