 a. S' Erkowit, 26.3.06. 



This bird was common on the Erkowit plateau in March 

 and April, frequenting the Euphorbias in company with 

 Myrmecocichla leipura. Small parties of six or seven 

 individuals generally contained both species. The two birds 

 are extremely similar in appearance, except for the blackish 

 upper tail-coverts of M, leipura. I admit that at first 1 took 

 ihera for the same species.

When I returned to Khartoum from leave on Sept. 25th, 

 1907, I found that both Spotted and Pied Flycatchers had 

 already arrived, the former in large, and tlie latter in small

 might have been searched without the slightest chance of 

 seeing a specimen of either.
