As I have recently given a full account of the Common 

 Roller in the ^ Birds of Europe' it will not be necessary to 

 enter into particulars here. The synonymy above given refers 

 solely to the occurrence of the species in Africa. Through- 

 out the Ethiopian region it appears to be only a winter 

 visitant.
