Andropadus gracilis Cabanis, Orn. Centralbl., 1880, p. 174: Angola. 
Male, Kinshasa, 8 December 1926. 
This specimen (which unfortunately lacks a tail) is lighter on the sides and 
flanks than a male from Sakbayeme, Cameroon, with which it otherwise agrees.

Stelgidillas gracilirostris congensis Reichenow, Orn. Monatsb., 1916, p. 181: Leopoldville. 
Male, Kinshasa, 8 December 1926. 
This individual agrees with the description of congensis in that the under tail- 
coverts are slightly paler, the upper parts somewhat darker, and the bird 
shghtly larger than typical gracilirostris.

Trichophorus simplex Hartlaub, Jour. f. Orn., 1855, p. 356 (ex. Temm.): Gold Coast.

Male and female, Bumba, 3 January 1927. 
These birds agree with others, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, from 
Omboue, Fernan Vaz, and with the characters given by Gyldenstolpe (Kungl. 
Sv. Vet. Akad. Handlngr., 1924, pp. 187-189). 
Nectariniidae 
Nectarinia kilimensis filiola Hartlaub

Adult male, Kibati, 27 March 1927. 
These birds agree with Hartlaub’s description of filiola, having the rump and 
back purplish bronzy. However, the male from Kibati is more like typical 
eastern birds, having only a very sight wash of purplish in some of the feathers.
