Hirundo griseopyga griseopyga. 



Hirundo griseopyga Suncl. ; Reich. V. A. ii. p. 403. 



This species is stated by Phillips (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 

 Cambridge, vol. Iviii. 1913, p. 16) to have been found breeding 

 by him at Fazogli in January. They make long burrows 

 in hard level ground horizontally a few inches below the 

 surface. It is also reported from AVau in the Bahr el Ghazal 

 by Heuglin (Orn. Nordost-Afr. i. p. 150). 



Hirundo daurica rufula. 



Hirundo rufula Temm. ; Reichw. V. A. ii. p. 421. 



Is also reported by Phillips (op. cit.) from Abiad on 

 the Binder river in February. It is surprising that this 

 bird has not been met with oftener in the Sudan. Heuglin 

 mentions that A. E. Brehm secured one example in Nubia, 

 and one was collected by Hawker at Fashoda in March, 

 fide O. -Grant.

After this portion of our paper was in print, Mr. Robert 

 Gurney, M.B.O.U., most kindly forwarded for our inspection 

 a small collection of birds made by him in the spring of 1914 

 at or near Meroti on the Nile, a few miles north of Shendi in 

 the Berber Province. 



The collection is an interesting one, as there are but few 

 specimens from this neighbourhood in the Butler collection. 

 The passeiine birds include an example of Ploceus v. vitel- 

 linus (see p. 437), a subspecies not represented in the 

 Butler collection, though it occurs apparently throughout 

 the Sudan. There are examples collected by Heuglin in 

 Sennar in the Museum, and it was obtained by Messrs. 

 N. C. Rothschild and Wollaston at Shendi (Ibis, 1902, 

 p. 12). The non-passerine birds will be mentioned in their 

 appropriate places.
