170 Mr. W. L. Sclater on [Ibis, 



at Sanaa are identical with those previously collected by him 

 in Somaliland and described by Bannerraan, and also with 

 Alexander's Gold Coast bird ; tlie types of both these species 

 are in the British Museum, and agree very well with the 

 Yemen bird. Alexander collected two additional examples 

 of this species at Dumtar in the Shari country during his 

 expedition from the Niger to the Nile in 1904-7. One of 

 these is a young bird and exactly matches the one collected 

 by Bury at Sanaa. They are conspicuously spotted with 

 white above, while the underparts are streaked with brown, 

 especially on the breast, and the Aving- and tail-feathers 

 edged with paler brown.

This species, represented only by a single example, seems 

 most closely allied to P. jacksoni of Mt. Elgon, but it is 

 distinctly larger, the wing of the former measuring 70 mm. 

 against 65 in the latter. The Elgon bird is also much paler 

 below and has less rnfous on the flanks and belly. Altogether 

 the Yemen bird is a very distinct form.
