 All these Desert Wheatears were taken in winter, and 

 appear to belosig to the eastern race, though one or two 

 specimens show some approach to the smaller and more 

 rufous form resident in northern Africa ; we have no 

 evidence that the Desert Wheatear ever breeds in the 

 Sulan, and the examples taken in March by Capt. Lynes 

 ai'e ticketed '^ sexual organs very small." 



(Enanthe lugentoidea. 



Saxicofa lugentoidi^s Seebohm, Cat. Bds. B. M. v. 1881, 

 p. 371 : Sennar. 



This Chat has not apparently been met with in the Sudan 

 since it was collected by Botta in 1839. Thei'e is a large 

 series in the Museum from southern Arabia. 



(Enanthe sennaarensis. 



Saxicola sennaareyisis Seebohm, Cat. Bds. B. M. v. 1881, 

 p. 391 : Sennar. 



This bird, which is described by Seebohm as closely 

 resembling (Enanthe famlliaris of South Africa, is only 

 known from the type in the Paris Museum, said to have 

 been obtained by Botta in Sennar about 1839, The locality 

 is probably a wrong one, as is also the case with several 

 other species such as (Enanthe lugentoides, which was stated 

 by Botta to come from Sennar, but which has since only 

 been found in southern Arabia.
