Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia. 
Very common, perhaps the commonest of our Sun-birds. 
This species, with C. chalybeus and Chalcomitra gutturalis, 
frequents gardens in the town and suburbs, attracted by the 
flowers. 
116. ClNNYRIS CHALYBEUS. 
Cinnyris chalybeus Stark, Birds S. Afr. i. p. 284. 
Very common. This species, with C. mariquensis and 
Chalcomitra gutturalis , seems to be more numerous and 
active during April and May. They appear to be partial to 
the wild mistletoe, which grows on a number of trees on the 
Commonage. 
117. Chalcomitra gutturalis. 
Cinnyris gutturalis Stark, Birds S. Afr. i. p. 286.

b. <J. April 14, 1908. 
Common, though not quite so numerous as Cinnyris 
mariquensis and C. chalybeus. 
The plumage of a is very similar to that of the adult 
female, except that the scarlet breast of the adult male is 
present. 
118. Cinnyris leucogaster. 
Cinnyris leucogaster Stark, Birds S. Afr. i. p. 281. 
a.&. May 5, 1907. 
Uncommon. I saw one on June 1 at Belle Vue. It was 
hopping briskly among the branches of some thick bushes 
and uttering a subdued tweet-tweet all the while. 
119. ZoSTEROPS ANDERSSONI. 
Zosterops anderssoni Stark, Birds S. Afr. i. p. 300.

a. June 8, 1908. “ Umvemve.” 
Bare. I have only seen this species once or twice, and 
each time it was close to water. Ants were found in the 
stomach of this example.
