* Dr. Reichenow writes to me that he considers CE. saharcB to be a distinct species, 

 so that I have reinstated it in the ' Hand-list ' for the present. Personally, I do not 

 believe it to be distinct, any more thau I do CE. indicus {cf. Oat. B. p. 6), though 

 Dr. Bianchi writes that he considers this form also to be quite recognizable.
