1920.] the Birds of the Anglo-Eyyptian Sudan. 801 There are in the Museum four Stone-Curlews from north-eastern Africa. They are all in worn plumage, and at first sight they all appear to differ considerably. There are two from the Red Sea Province, one from Lake Zwai in Abyssinia, and one from Sugsoda in Somaliland. These birds Dr. Hartert was kind enough to examine, and we agree with his conclusions. The Somaliland bird is so pale and small, wing 214 mm. (very worn), that it may even prove to be a resident race in Somaliland. The other three Dr. Hartert considers must be regarded as more or less aberrant examples of the typical race. A larger series of these birds from Africa would be of considerable interest.

[B. coll.] 1 Wau Apl. B.G. We agree with Claude Grant, op. cit., that East African specimens of CG’. capensis cannot be separated from the typical form. This single example from the Bahr el Ghazal we are also unable to separate from that form. The dark and heavily marked back and breast at once distinguish it from C!.c. affinis. his is, of course, considerable extension of range of CG. c. capensis.
