Widely distributed on almost all rivers and streams in the 

 Sudan south of the more northern parts of the White and 

 Blue Niles, when the banks are without sedge or cover 

 [A.L. B.). 



Claude Grant, op. ciL, shows that Vroeg's name if adopted 

 preoccupies A. cristata of Liimseus from Madagascar (the 

 Madagascar l)ird must then be called C. vbttsioides 

 (Eyd. & Gerv.)), and antedates A. cyanostigma Riippell from 

 Abyssinia.

Mr. Butler's example of this Kingfisher is not in the 

 collection presented to the Museum. 



We have examined the Kingfishers of this group in the 

 Museum and oux' conclusions are similar to those of Dr. 

 Sliarpe (Cat. Bds. Brit. Mus. xvii. p. 246), except that an 

 additional race inhabiting Uganda, the iipper Welle, and 

 Bahr el Ghazal must be reci)gnized.
