704 Messrs. Sclater and Mackworth-Praed on [Ibis, 



in the Museum from Abyssinia or from the Lake districts 

 of Uganda with wliicli to compare them, we believe that they 

 must be identified with the typical race.

These Spotted Flycatchers appear to belong to the 

 western European race rather than to M. s. naumanni, which 

 is said to winter in eastern Africa. 



Common and widely distributed on passage, but most 

 birds pass through to farther south (^A. L. B.).

Both the^e Flycatchers are females or quite young birds, 

 and appear to us to be referable to the eastern form of the 

 Pied Flycatcher breeding in Asia Minor and Persia, as are 

 other Egyptian examples in the British Museum collection.

Koenig (Verhandl. V. Intern. Orn. Kongr. 1910, p. 537) 

 reports a single female from Shendi in March. The female 

 of this species is so like that of M. atricapilla semitorquata 

 that we cannot admit this bird to the Sudanese list without 

 further confirmation.
