<div dir="ltr">Dear Andy,<div><br></div><div>Many thanks for your prompt response. Yes, I have checked ORNIS and GBIF databases. Both produced many results for Parus (rufiventris) pallidiventris. The only ones that were from west of the central Tanzanian rift are skins I've already located and studied (1 in Copenhagen, 1 in Leiden and 3 in Berlin).</div>

Have you tried the ORNIS network at <a href="http://www.vertnet.org" target="_blank">www.vertnet.org</a>? There you can search multiple collections all at once for the specimens you are interested in. You could also try <a href="http://www.gbif.org" target="_blank">www.gbif.org</a> for a larger set.<br>

> I'm looking for specimens in museums of Parus (rufiventris) pallidiventris (Cinnamon-breasted Tit), from western Tanzania, Africa (west of the central Tanzanian rift). There are large numbers from Eastern Tanzania, esp. type localities including Songea, Ruvuma, Morogoro and Kilosa, of which I have an adequate sample size. If you have any specimens from western Tanzania, please email me the details.<br>
