 Reichenow as an African bird, but Hartert states it was 

 taken by Beccari in Eritrea in Dec. 1905.

This is not only the sole record of the occurrence of the 

 Ring Ouzel in the Sudan, but is also apparently the first 

 time that the southern European race has been met with 

 anywhere in Africa. T. t. alpestris is distinguishable at a 

 glance from T. t. torquatus by the much broader white edges 

 to the feathers of the underside. 



Capt. S. Flower also obtained a Ring Ouzel at Dongola 

 {A.L.B.).
