These two Vultures from the Red Sea Province are most 

 certainly closer to the Indian form than they are to the 

 European. We have unfortunately no specimens of G. f. 

 cinnamonieus Reiclnv. from Turkestan with which to compare 

 them, nor have we any specimens of G. f. fulvus from the 

 type locality, north Persia. We should expect northern 

 migrants in the Red Sea Province, judging from what we 

 have so far seen, to come from the country between Russia 

 to the west and western Turkestan to the east, but not from 

 so far east as the Punjab. The fact remains, however, that 

 we cannot separate these from Punjab examples. The typical 

 race G. f. fulvus (^ V. /. occidentalis Sch\ege\ of Heuglin) is 

 said by Heuglin and otliers to have occurred in the Sudan, 

 but we have no specimens before us.

These two specimens are the first examples of this species 

 to reach the British Museum. This is a lowland species 

 us compared to the distinct and paler race G. r. erlangeri 

 from the Abyssinian highlands. We think it very possible 

 that this also occurs in the Sudan and may be the bird 

 referred to by Butler, Ibis, 1905, p. 371, as Gyps kolbii, 

 which it is not unlike. This latter occurs, however, only in 

 South Africa.
