Ornithology of the Egyptian Suudan. 237 



March 1906. It was common everywhere in the part of the 

 }3abr-el-Gliazal Province that I visited. 



137. Elminia TiiRESiTA Antin. 



«. c? . Chak Chak, Feb. 1907. (Skin h)st.) 

 I came across this beautiful Httle Flycatcher once only, in 

 a large tree overhanging the river at Cbak Chak. It was 

 continually in motion, spreading its wings and tail as restlessly 

 as a Rhipidura. The bird was rather badly injured by my 

 shot, and I spent a long time in cleansing its delicate plumage 

 and making a very perfect skin of it ; but on unpacking 

 my collection at Kbartoum this one specimen proved to be 

 unaccountably missing. 



138. Terpsiphoxe cristata (Gm.). 



a. S ad. Near Wau, 25. 4. 07. 



b. S juv. Wau, 24. 1.07. 



I met with this Paradise Flycatcher only near Wau and at 

 the Khor Gitti. It was rather scarce, and I only saw adult 

 males two or three times.

This Grey-and-Rufous Flycatcher seemed very local. It 

 was numerous among the trees at Gardein, but I only saw it 

 at one other place — Amien, — a single individual. It is a quiet 

 little bird and feeds more by watching the ground for insects 

 and dropping down from its perch to catch them than by 

 pursuing them in the air.
