1906. They were very abundant everywhere in the Balir- 

 el-Ghazal Province, scores being seen daily between 

 January 14th and April 12th. (ireat numbers seem to 

 winter in that part of the country.

A single bird, shot at a place where the steamer stopped 

 for wood, was the only Nightingale seen during our journey 

 in the Bidir-el-Gliazal country.

Numbers of Persian Nightingales arrived in Khartoum in 

 September 1906 and September 1907, but, as usual, all 

 seemed to have moved on by the end of October. I think 

 that the main body of them go much further south. I was 

 interested to ascertain whether I should find them settled 

 down for the winter in the Bahr-el-Ghazal Province, but I 

 only saw one Nightingale during that trip, which proved to 

 be L, luscinia.

Khartoum does not seem to lie in the Bluethroat's regular 

 line of migration. I have, I think^ only noticed the bird 

 there twice.

I saw a single Song-Thrush in the Public Gardens at 

 Khartoum on Dec. 17th, 1907. It allowed me to approach 

 and inspect it closely, and I did not think it necessary to 

 shoot it. I iiave never seen one in the Soudan before, and 

 imagine that its occurrence so far south is exceptional.

The Ethiopian Thrush was tolerably common between 

 Wau and Chak Chak.
