The Birds of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. 



Sir,— In the last jiart of their paper (Ibis, 19.^0, p. 815) 

 Messrs. Sclater and Mack worth- Praed write of Steplianibyx 

 nielanopterus melanopterus : "" liUppell records a specimen of 

 tliis bird from ' Nubia.' We should not regard it as 

 admissible to the Sudanese list witliout further confirma- 

 tion.'^ There is a recent aud confirmatory record. Mr, J. 

 C. Phillips (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool, Cambridge, Mass., 

 vol, Iviii, no. 1, p, 6) obtained a female example at Sennar 

 on the 27th of December, 1912, 



As my record of the Sanderling Crocethiu alba alba appears 



to be the only one from the Sudan, I would like to add that 



the bird was shot in the early spring on the White Nile at 



Khartoum and was in partial breeding-plumage. I mounted 



it myself aud left it, labelled with sex and date, in the 



Gordon College Museum. 



Yours truly, 



St. Leonard's Park, Horsham, A, L. BuTLER.
