1 91 8.] the Birds of the A^iglo-Egyptian Sudan. 615 



We agree with Professor Neumann^s conclusions as to 

 the subspecies of this bird, though, as Hartert points out 

 (Nov. Zool. xxiv. p. 457), it must bear the name sordidus 

 and not nicholsoni. The specimens before us, however, do 

 not exactly agree with any race, though nearest to A. s. 

 hararetisis. They are somewhat less plainly striped on the 

 back than the Harar form, and the young bird in the 

 Butler collection is paler than usual. They would appear 

 to be the least plainly striped form of A. sordidus, and may 

 very likely have to bear another name. 



Anthus rufulus cinnamomeus. 



Anthus cinnamomeus Riippell, N. Wirbelt. 1835, p. 103 : 

 Siemen, Abyssinia ; Reichw. V. A. iii. p. 313. 



This form of the Rufous Pipit, though not contained in 

 the Butler, Chapman & Lynes, and Christy collections, 

 occurs in the Sudan. There are examples in the Museum 

 from Khartoum collected by Captain Dunn in March, and 

 from Rejaf in the Lado Enclave collected by Emin Pasha 

 in January.
