48. Nectarinia kilimensis. Kilimanjaro Bronze Sun- 
bird. 
Nectarinia kilimensis Shelley. 
Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 
I found the Kilimanjaro Bronze Sunbird in most of the 
localities we visited: at Naivasha it was common and four 
males and two females were obtained. 
49. Nectarinia reichenowj. Beichenow’s Sunbird. 
Nectarinia reichenowi Shelley. 
Beichenow’s Sunbird was obtained among the native 
sbambas near Kallima Tbeki: it was not at all uncommon 
there in April, and appeared to be greatly attracted by a 
purple flowering plant of the Pea tribe; none of the males 
obtained were in full plumage. 
50. Nectarinia jacksoni. Jackson’s Sunbird. 
Nectarinia jacksoni Neumann. 
Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 
A pair of Jackson’s Sunbirds were obtained at Naivasha 
on March 4th, but 1 saw the species nowhere else. 
51. Cinnykis microrhynchus. East-African Bifasciated 
Sunbird. 
Cinnyris microrhynchus Shelley. 
Iris brown; bill and legs black. 
This species was seen at Theki and specimens were shot 
on the hill behind our camp, where they were constantly 
attracted by a species of aloe and would run up and down 
its branches hunting for insects. I never saw the bird 
feeding at any of the numerous flowering shrubs which 
abounded at Theki, and upon which the other species of 
Sunbirds were often seen. 
52. Cinnyris alquatorialis. Scarlet-chested Sunbird. 
Cinnyris (/equatorialis Beichen. 
We found the Scarlet-chested Sunbird fairly distributed 
wherever we went.
