From the dates given above it appears to be not unlikely 

 that the Great Spotted Cuckoo breeds in the Sudan, as it 

 certainly does in South Africa. The bird collected 

 by Butler at Erkowit is abnormally large, the wing 

 measuring 224 mm. against the usual 190 to 210. Another 

 bird in the British Museum from Suakim, collected by 

 Capt. Peuton, measures 222, and a third, collected by 

 G. Blaine, but without locality, probably also from the 

 Sudan, attains to 225. Whether this indicates the existence 

 of a larger race breeding somewhere in Asia cannot at pre- 

 sent l)e settled, but it seems worth while drawing attention 

 to the matter.
