in pairs, between Wau and Cbak Cliak, but was much 

 scarcer than L. erythrog aster.

 a. (J juv. Briiigi's, 1.2. 07. 



I only met with this Bush-Shrike three times, once at 

 Briuori's and twice near Chak Chak. It had a loud whistle 

 of four notes. My specimen is in the first plumage and has 

 the lower surface uniform yellow, with no trace of orange. 



83. Laniarius erythrogaster Cretzschm. 

 a. ?. Chak Chak, 14.2.07. 



The Scarlet-breasted Bush-Shrike was a common bird 

 wherever we travelled in the Bahr-el-Ghazal country. 



Marching south from Suakin in 1905 I did not see it until 

 1 reached the cotton-soil country just south of Jebel Mamau. 

 From there to the Blue Nile it was met with wherever there 

 was bush. 



84. Telephonus blanfordi Sharpe. 



a. Q . Bor, Upper Nile, Jan. 06. 



b. ? . Pongo River, 3. 2. 07. 



This Bush-Shrike was common between Wau and Chak 

 Chak. The specimen from Bor was obtained for me by 

 M. de Vilmorin. 



85. Telephonus minor Reichen. 

 a. ? . Bor, Upper Nile, 1905. 

 Kindly sent to me by Mr. Middleton.

c. ? . Erkowit, 29. 3. 06. 



This beautiful Bush- Shrike was common on the plain 

 south of Suakin and rather less so on the Erkowit plateau. 

 Its habits are something between those of Teleplionus and 

 Argya, and like the latter it associates in small parties. 

 This, the extreme eastern side of the country, is the otdy 

 locality in which I have met with it, but Capt. H. N. Dunn, 

 R.A.M.C, procured it at some wells in Western Kordofan.
