IX. — A Second Contribution to the Ornithology of the Egyptian 

 Soudan. By A. L. Butler, F.Z.S., M.B.O.U., Superin- 

 tendent of Game Preservation, Soudan Government. 



Since writing the article on Soudan birds which appeared 

 in ' The Ibis ' for July 1905, I have been able to do some 

 travelling on the Suakin side of the country, and in the 

 northern part of the Bahr-el-Ghazal Province, neither of 

 which localities I had visited previously. The information 

 obtained on these journeys, and some additional notes from 

 Khartoum, are embodied in the present paper. 



The following recent articles on Soudan ornithology may 

 be referred to in connexion with the present one, but to 

 save space I have not given more detailed references : —
