XXX VTI. — On a Collection of Birds made in the Sudan by 

 Major S. S. Flower, O.B.E., in December 1920 and 

 January and February 1921 ; and some remark.'! on "^ List 

 of the Birds of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan '' by W. L. Sclater 

 and C. Mackworth Praed. ' By M. J. Nicoll, M.B.O.U. 



The following paper is based on a small collection of birds 

 made by Major S. S. Flower during a visit to the Sudan in 

 December 1920, January and February 1921, and which 

 has been placed in my hands for determination and re- 

 porting on. 



I liave taken the present opportunity to add to this 

 account a few remarks on some Sudan birds other than 

 those contained in the collection under review but men- 

 tioned by Messrs. Sclater & Praed in their paper recently 

 published iu ' The Ibis.' 



In the present collection one new race is represented, i. e. 

 Galerida cristata halfa\ which I have already described in 

 the Bull. B.O.C. vol. xlii, p. 7. The type of this form and 

 one other example are now in the Tring Mnseum, the 

 remainder of the collection is in the Giza Zoological 

 Museum. 



The specimens of Pycnonotus barbatus arsinoe from Haifa 

 and the examples of Hoplopterus spinosus from different 

 localities in the Sudan are worthy of further examination 

 when a larger series is available.

It is interesting to note that all these examples are of the 

 brown phase, or race, and unlike all the other specimens in 

 the Giza Museum from the Sudan, which are very grey on 

 the upper parts.
